Arsenal attacker Charles Sagoe Jr admits he's still floating after last week's senior debut.
Sagoe Jr featured in their Carabao Cup win against Brentford.
“Honestly it was a great experience to be fair," he told arsenal.com. “It's still a whirlwind because playing for Arsenal's first team is what I've been dreaming of since I was a little kid. Playing for the Arsenal first team with the likes of Emile and Reiss helping me out through the game was amazing. I'm forever grateful for Mikel giving me that opportunity.
“The coaches have always given me advice, even if I didn't make my debut. They always tell me to stay grounded, stay humble and keep on working hard because I want that opportunity again, so I'm going to keep working hard in training and everything that I apply myself to."
He also recalled: “I must have came into training the other day, after I made my debut, and the staff, the kitchen staff, the coaches, my teammates, they were all so ecstatic for me.
“The love and support that they gave me when I came into the building was honestly amazing and I'm very grateful that they gave me that.
“Picking up the win and moving onto the next round against a tough Brentford side, seeing them on TV - the likes of Mbeumo and Wissa - who are very technical players, to come up against them, I was glad to help the team win and onto the next round.
“Playing with the first team with Arsenal is a massive achievement but I would like more and more experiences and opportunities so I'm going to keep on working hard and hopefully I'll get one of those opportunities again."
