Great photo capturing the determination and skill of Gedion Zelalem during Arsenal's pre-season friendly against RC Lens in Lens, France, on July 22, 2016. The image, taken by Arsenal FC's official photographer Stuart MacFarlane, showcases Zelalem in the midst of action, with a focused expression and the ball at his feet. The 2016-17 season was a significant one for Zelalem, who was looking to establish himself in the Arsenal first team. Having joined the Gunners' academy in 2013, the American midfielder had shown great promise but had yet to make a real impact in the senior squad. This pre-season friendly against Lens provided an opportunity for Zelalem to impress, and he did not disappoint. In this moment, he is seen dribbling the ball past an opponent, using his quick footwork and close ball control to maintain possession. The crowd at Stade Bollaert-Delelis watches intently, sensing that they are witnessing a potential star in the making. Despite a promising performance against Lens, Zelalem would go on to make only a few appearances for Arsenal during the 2016-17 season, with most of his playing time coming in the form of loan spells at Rangers and VVV-Venlo. Nevertheless, this photo serves as a reminder of his potential and the excitement that surrounded his early days at Arsenal. Overall, this image encapsulates the anticipation and excitement of the pre-season, as well as the determination of a young player looking to make his mark in the beautiful game.
