That is not the academy! The academy is for 9-16 year olds. Youth team football is usually 16-18 year olds.
We call them schoolboys during the academy years then if they get offered a contract past schoolboy they play in the youth team (in the old days they were called apprentices) then if they get a contract past youth team they join the reserves or first team.
You can quote as much as you want but Bellerin never joined the academy.

Playing right back will of course improve his defensive capabilities, bright future for this guy definitely.

You’re trying really hard but it’s very evident you’re a Johnny come lately.
Hale End - the club's facility for nine to 16-year-olds - is currently undergoing a major redevelopment and is set to be one of the finest academy facilities in world football.
