He's still without doubt the best young player I've ever seen play, played in the same team as my little brother for years. Going to be weird watching him for us, good luck Zac!
Pacy forward Zak is another product of Arsenal’s Hale End Academy who has made his mark in the reserves. He made steady progress in Arsenal's academy last term after recovering from a serious knee injury that brought his 2011/12 season to an early end. Zak was included in Arsene Wenger's squad for the Champions League game against Olympiacos and was on target in the 4-2 win over Atletico Bilbao in the NextGen Series.

His old man is Andy 'Unbelievable Tekkers' Ansah. Supports Charlton and mates will Euell and Powell. Favour for a friend? Ex Arsenal so yeah worth a punt
I must be dyslexic because I don't read it that way - quite the opposite. Euell says that he'll be 21 by the end of the season & so "one for the first team".
He may start off under Euell's wing but the way I read RD & also BP is that we'll be using more of the youngsters so I expect to see Ansah as part of the 1st team squad during the season.

It says he will start with the u21s. Obviously at 20 and on a 2 year deal they'll be hoping he's not too far off the first team.
"Sidcup-born Ansah will join up with Jason Euells’ development squad in pre-season and becomes the second young prospect to join the club this summer following last month’s arrival of Kurtis Cumberbatch."
Kind of a replacement for Azeez, same age and both seen as pacey strikers. Will be interesting to see where they both are in a few years time.
And considering my brother has played with Diego Poyet too there's a chance that one day he could have played with two Charlton first teamers, bloody mental.
Didn't we come close to signing Andy Ansah from Southend back in the early 90s?
Pretty sure I read in an interview he had with Valley review , where he said he was on the verge of signing for us but we had to use his transfer fee to fix the flood lights!
that is so underwhelming all this time we have been waiting for something to happen, then when it does it is this, seriously how will he improve our attack

A young kid who has come through all the academy ranks at Arsenal and made the bench in a Champions League game - don't you think he might, just might, be good enough to be an effective Championship player? Jase thinks so and that's good enough for me.
Nothing to get excited about, enough fannying about roly poly give us some first team strength and we can start to gather some optimism and buy into what you're doing here

Obviously your opinion is based on your vast knowledge and experience of watching the under 21 league.

made the bench, never played loads of players have made the bench, when Arsenal had already qualified so Wenger did not want to take his key players to Greece and he still never played

Good to see him here finally, hopefully we get his career back on track.
