Rafael Leão: AC Milan Star Labels Arsenal’s “Dangerously Insane” Wonderkid
**“I have played against top talents like Yamal, Musiala and even Palmer before—**but, to be quite honest, I’ve never seen such a dangerously insane kid like Him before.” That jaw-dropping statement reportedly came from Rafael Leão after his heated duel with a young Arsenal phenom in last night’s blockbuster showdown.

While pundits expected Leão to highlight Declan Rice’s grit or Bukayo Saka’s ingenuity, he instead pointed at Arsenal’s secret weapon—the emerging teenage forward who tore through Milan’s backline:

**“It was that kid—utterly fearless in one-on-one situations, unpredictable off the dribble, and with a killer eye for goal.** He left me speechless more than once.”**
Dubbed in the article as “Arsenal’s dangerously insane kid,” this youngster showcased his talent by running rings around the Rossoneri defense, netting a stunning goal and causing constant havoc on the left flank.
