“The change in tempo (is the biggest learning curve)," Flores told the Athletic. “Any first team is better than any youth team, so just getting the feel of it is good. Especially for a great country like Mexico. I'm just trying to get used to it and trying to bring what I learn from there here (Arsenal) and vice versa.

“Mikel Arteta looks for a lot in rising talent and work rate is the most important. Everything off the pitch comes first and then the work rate comes before talent.

"But any time I get a chance, I try and show him who I am and how I can help him in the future."
