A future Arsenal star? Santi Cazorla's son Enzo shows Lionel Messi-esque skills in Emirates celebrations

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla may have tasted disappointment at being left out of Spain's provisional Euro 2016 squad, but it appears future generations of Cazorlas look set to carry the good family name onto the pitch.

The Gunners' 4-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday ensured Arsene Wenger's side once again finished above fierce rivals Tottenham in the Premier League table, leading to mass celebrations at the Emirates.

What could have been a meek end-of-season farewell to the fans became a party for the players and their families as they toasted another St. Totteringham's Day as Mauricio Pochettino's side fell at Newcastle.

And as the players went on an end-of-season lap of honour, Cazorla's five-year-old son Enzo proved he may have the talent to make the grade when the time comes.

Cazorla Jr. (in the red hat in the video below) showed a number of flicks and tricks against other young Gunners after dispossessing first-team midfielder Francis Coquelin with a well-timed tackle.

Arsenal were suitably impressed enough to tweet out a video of Enzo's impressive dribbling skills, including some fine turns to leave his young rivals on the floor.

One feint - 16 seconds into the video - is particularly reminiscent of Barcelona star Lionel Messi's shoulder-drop to leave Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng on the deck back in 2015.

Cazorla's son had Arsenal fans talking on social media as other clips of his performance emerged, including a number of stepovers for the camera to ensure a perfect day for the Gunners.

Wenger says he is after three new signings this summer, but ensuring Enzo enters Arsenal's academy system could see future Arsenal managers thanking the French coach.
