In this poignant moment captured before the Arsenal Under-19s took on CSKA Moscow Under-19s in the NextGen Series quarter-finals at Emirates Stadium on March 25,2013, legendary Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann shares a heartfelt handshake with young striker Chuba Akpom. The German shot-stopper, who had recently retired from professional football after a distinguished career that included two spells with the Gunners, was on hand to offer words of encouragement and support to the promising talent that was emerging through the ranks of Arsenal's youth academy. Akpom, who had already made his senior debut for the first team under Arsène Wenger earlier that season, would have undoubtedly looked up to Lehmann as one of the greatest goalkeepers in Arsenal history. The experienced goalkeeper, who won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups during his time at the club, would have shared invaluable knowledge and insights with the young striker, helping him navigate the challenges of professional football. The handshake between Lehmann and Akpom symbolizes the rich tradition of nurturing young talent at Arsenal, with the club's legendary players passing on their wisdom and experience to the next generation. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of mentorship and the enduring legacy of Arsenal Football Club's youth academy. In the end, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 1:0 win over CSKA Moscow, with Akpom contributing to the team's success in his own right. The encounter marked an important milestone in the young striker's career, with the guidance of former greats like Lehmann playing a crucial role in his development as a professional footballer.
