We all know about Jack Wilshere,Aaron Ramsey and Kieron Gibbs but who are the next kids to come through the Arsenal academy?Ive seen a lot of the young players and ive picked out the best in my opinion.
Jay Thomas – Big strong and technically excellant but one problem remains!Which is his best position?
Manny Frimpong – A mini Michael Essien,if not for injury he would be pushing for a Carling Cup start.
Benik Afobe – A natural centre forward and goalscorer.His goal scoring record at junior level is outstanding.Very quick and lethal in front of goal.
Chucks Aneke – Chuks is a gem of a footballer who possesses everything in his locker.Tall,powerful with fantastic balance and technique.I couldn’t think of a player from the past who Chuks reminds me off.
Nico Yennaris – When Arsenal legend Liam Brady picks out and praises a young player then you know you have a class act on your hands.Nico was signed on pro terms despite missing a whole season through injury.A defensive midfield playmaker who can also play at right back,Nico can rise right to the very top of his profession.
Add to these players such as Kyle Bartley, Oguzhan Ozyakup ,Ignasi Miquel and Martin Angha the future and Arsene Wengers vision looks sure to pay fruition in the years to come.
