Martin Keown excited to witness the future of Marquinhos at Arsenal.

The Brazilian youngster scored his first goal for Arsenal against FC Zurich on Thursday night.

He was signed by Arsenal in the latest summer window but has been struggling to break into the first team.

On Thursday night against Zurich, he showed a glimpse of his talent by scoring one goal and assisting another in Arsenal’s 2-1 win against the Swedish club.

Keown believes the talent youngster has a bright future at Arsenal.

He said, as quoted by Teamtalk: “It’s the confidence. We talked about having that class in possession. I saw lots of that tonight from Marquinhos.

“Look at that pass from Fabio Vieira, great ball into the channel, we talked about Nketiah and his movement, and then a great pass off his weaker foot.

“And then the finish! The ball just lifts before it comes into him and it’s a wonderful finish from him.

“The first of many, hopefully. He’s got a huge future ahead of him.

“That’s a real opportunity now ahead of him. Bukayo Saka is only a couple of years older himself, but such is the quality he’s going to get chances.”
