Chuba Akpom
The 19-year-old has earned seven first-team outings this term after impressing boss Arsene Wenger in the Under-21s side, scoring nine goals in 10.
The Gunners academy product is yet to find his first senior goal, but insists he is already benefitting from the 34-year-old Rosicky's advice on the training ground.
“I speak to Tomas Rosicky a lot,” Akpom said. "He is a legend and he is always giving me advice and telling me what to do more of.

“The one thing he always tells me is to always be moving, so you make a movement and if you don’t get the ball you then make another move to ensure you are available.
“He also encourages me to mix my game up: to take a few touches here, then the next time to take one touch and then spin away. He knows what he is talking about, he’s world class so it’s great to learn from these types of players.
“When I look around and see the likes of him and Mesut Ozil… these are people you play on Fifa with, that you watch on TV, so for me to be in the changing room with them… it’s amazing.”
