don't know if this has been posted before, but I was just randomly watching some old villa video's on you tube and came across one I hadn't seen in a few years of juan pablos boy playing football.. think he was like 8 at the time and that was 3/4, maybe more years ago .. so just wondering if anyone knows if he actually has ended up progressing or if he's currently on the under 13's book at a club somewhere ???

Tomy has gone to Arsenal on trial. He is 12 years old now.

Former Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel's son has been on trial at Arsenal.
Tomy Angel, 12, has spent a stint training at the Gunners' highly-respected Hale End academy.
The youngster has developed his talents in the USA while his father finished his playing career in the MLS with New York Red Bulls, LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.
And Gunners academy chiefs have been alerted to Tomy's talents, invited the youngster to train with them.
It is unclear whether Tomy is to be offered a permanent place at Arsenal's academy.


Nevertheless, it is looking increasingly likely Tomy will follow his father's footsteps into professional football.
Angel Snr signed for the club in 2001, and scored 44 top-flight goals in almost seven years at Villa Park.

He's now at LA Galaxy!! Wonder if we have even tried to look at him? Imagine if he was in our setup's and progressed to first team everyone would be buzzing inc JPA!! He was bprn in 2003 so would have been born in Birmingham/West Midlands so will have no issue with work permit.

Wasn't this this kid who had a video go viral when he was 6/7 when he took on everybody and scores a goal in a youth match?

That's the one, sadly for those kids the only skills they were developing was pretending to look pleased when Angel's son waltzed from one of the pitch to other everytime and banged one in.

Well, yesterday he started his second game and scored for the first time in his career. He seems to be ahead of a lot of players in Colombia in terms of technical ability and physical development even though he's still a little lightweight. If he keeps working like that he'll be better than his dad
