McEneff, who joined the Premier League outfit from Coleraine, was among the group of first year scholars that trained at Arsenalโ€™s London Colney base yesterday.

The talented striker makes the step up from schoolboy level and will be hoping to continue his development during the 2017/18 season with the Gunnersโ€™ U18 side.

McEneff, the younger brother of former Derry City midfielder Aaron, who was also on the books at Tottenham, represented Northern Ireland at underage level before switching his international allegiance to the Republic earlier this year.

He marked his debut for the Boys in Green by scoring the winner against Hungary in an U16 international in February.

    Surely in the scenario described he would have been an hour early with Chicago being an hour behind the eastern coast. Unless the earth spins in the opposite direction statesideโ€ฆ.

    Ten minutes is the the time most golfers turn up for their tee time, no big deal.
