‘Absolute mustard’, ‘Top class’: Some fans blown away by Arsenal owned star after draw

It’s fair to say the temporary switch isn’t really going according to plan.

The Gunners maestro came on for 17 minutes of last night’s 1-1 draw with Cheltenham for only his second outing for Pompey.

Azeez has largely been kept on the bench by boss Danny Cowley; with some reports suggesting Arsenal may consider recalling him.

At 19 he does have bags of time on his side and training with men each day will only benefit him in the long run.

Playing games is also key though. Arsenal won’t want Azeez stagnating at Fratton Park and there could be a decision to make in January.

It had been anticipated that Azeez would kick on at Portsmouth. It hasn’t transpired in such a fashion and that makes for a baffling situation.

What have Portsmouth fans said about Arsenal man Azeez?

It’s fair to say they were impressed with his performance during last night’s contest. Plenty are even keen to see him play more for Pompey in the coming weeks.

He reacted on Twitter following last night’s cameo and plenty of fans have been responding to the teenager on social media.
