Arsenal are one of the few clubs in world football that tend to bring players through the ranks, and the current crop of talent show no signs of that changing.
From Alex Iwobi who has just stepped up the first-team scene to Emile Smith-Rowe and Kaylen Hinds, the north London side are well positioned in terms of identifying a range of talents from a young age.
However, they’re certainly not ones to shy away from bringing in players from overseas or other British clubs from a young age – with Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze the latest examples. Dan Crowley, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Donyell Malen, Yassin Fortune and Ismael Bennacer are another group of players who’ve entered the academy as highly rated youngsters from a a range of different countries.
The scouting system is now a big focus of attention and with the importance of ‘bringing through talent’, we’ve identified a number of different players that the Gunners can do this with – but from different clubs.
Who can Arsenal nab from other teams, players who have world-class potential?
