The two teenagers are both classed as U21 players and have been listed on the Players List B.

The other Nigerian teenagers earlier named in the Arsenal squad are defenders Tolaji Bola, Joseph Olowu and Tobi Omole.
Nigeria international Alex Iwobi completes the players of Nigerian descent eligible to represent Arsenal in the Europa League.
Unai Emery's side will do battle with Vorskla Poltava, Sporting CP and Qarabağ in Group E.
