Beckham's son was given special permission to join Arsenal's U18 team.

At 15 years old, Brooklyn is gradually showing that he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of his famous father's football career.

Brooklyn was called up to the Arsenal U18 team for their 1-0 victory over Leicester last weekend.

Although the 15-year-old talent didn't get to play in the match at Hertfordshire's training ground and only appeared as a substitute, many British newspapers still considered it "a clear step forward on Brooklyn's path towards a professional career."

The U18 squad is a collection of Arsenal's new hopes, some of whom have already been given a chance at the first team and even featured in the Champions League match against Galatasaray this season, such as Stefan O'Connor, Gedion Zelalem and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Beckham made his name at Man Utd, but his sons are all associated with Arsenal. Besides Brooklyn, the other two boys are also training in the London club's youth team.
