Krystian Bielik has trained with the Arsenal first-team, suggesting that Arsene Wenger could be eyeing the Polish youngster as a solution to the Gunners’ defensive midfield problems.

Arsenal are light on specialist defensive midfielders in the wake of Francis Coquelin’s injury, with the Frenchman unlikely to play again this year after damaging his knee at West Brom.

Calum Chambers has been assessed in training as a potential option, but Bielik’s presence suggests that he could also be in the mix.

Bielik, 17, joined Arsenal back in January for a reported £2.7million fee, and has been tipped for a big future in the game.
