He revealed he has been taking additional fitness classes with the Gunners on top of his work with Huddersfield to keep his fitness levels high during lockdown.
The 19-year-old ace has been joining his north London team-mates for yoga sessions and using some of the equipment the Gunners’ medical staff have provided him.
In he said: “Arsenal sent me a Wattbike and I’ve got a programme from them, a programme from Huddersfield.

"I’m kind of getting through both at the moment.
“It is difficult to be fair. It’s hard man. It’s hard when you’re not training.
“The main thing is about ticking over, staying fit and stuff.
“Today I jumped on a Wattbike this morning, did a hard session and a yoga session in the afternoon with all the Arsenal boys. It’s difficult man.”
Both clubs have sent the youngster dietary and fitness plans, and the two clubs are reportedly regularly liaising over his work in lockdown.
Huddersfield are said to be structuring the majority of his training plan with Arsenal offering extra fitness sessions to keep the 19-year-old sharp.
