Juan Pablo Angel's 12-year-old son, Tomy, has been undergoing a trial with Arsenal at their Hale End academy, according to reports.

Angel is known to those in the Premier League for his time at Aston Villa, scoring 44 league goals during his stint in Birmingham between 2001 and 2008, and the Daily Mail have reported that young Tomy could be following in his father's footsteps.

The youngster Tomy developed his talents in the USA after his father finished his playing career in the MLS with New York Red Bulls at first, and then LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.

Angel retired from playing in 2014.

The report in the Mail adds that it is unclear whether Tomy is to be offered a permanent place at Arsenal's academy.
