Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says 17-year-old Jeff Reine-Adelaide will not be sent out on loan this season.
Adelaide caught the eye in the Emirates Cup this weekend, coming on as a sub against Lyon before impressing in an hour-long performance against Wolfsburg, setting up Theo Walcott for the only goal of the game.
Wenger has indicated the youngster will continue his development in north London during the 2015-16 campaign and could be a part of the first team set-up.
"He will stay at Arsenal this season," Wenger told reporters after the game. "He looks very promising but he needs to work with the first team now."

"He will stay at Arsenal this season," Wenger told reporters after the game. "He looks very promising but he needs to work with the first team now."
He added: "Reine-Adelaide looks very advanced physically for his age and I'm sure he has learned a lot from the Emirates Cup."
Prior to the game against Wolfsburg, Wenger identified Adelaide, who signed from Lens earlier in 2015, as a "special talent".
"Reine-Adelaide is something special you know," he said on Saturday. "He is a great talent and when he came on you could see that.
"[He is] 17 years old, let's not forget that. In fact I don't remember how I played at 17 but I didn't play like that!"
