There are very few days left in the transfer window and as far as the Gunners are concerned, there hasn’t been any activity so far. Manager Unai Emery has spoken about the state of the club’s finances and fans should understand that no big transfers are going to be happening any time soon.
So, one way to get around this is to look at the youngsters who can make the club great again.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles:
He is already a bit of a regular for the club and since the season-ending injury suffered by Hector Bellerin, he is sure to get more chances as the season goes on. A versatile player capable of playing in the midfield as well as defense, he is set to have a bright career with the Gunners.
Emile Smith Rowe:
Another player who has used the Europa League to put his stamp on the team, Smith Rowe is easily among the best talents that the Gunners have at the moment. He has scored three goals this season and proven that he can be a thorn in the opposition’s defense.
Lately, he has been through some injury troubles but when he comes back, he is sure to make his way into the plans of Unai Emery.
Jordi Osei-Tutu:
Another youngster who has been very impressive in the youth teams, he is bound to make an appearance for the first team sooner rather than later. He normally plays as a right back and given the problems that Arsenal have been facing with that position, his time is going to come in the near future.
Eddie Nketiah:
A player with a phenomenal scoring record all throughout his career, he has not truly broken into the first team yet. The big reason for that not happening is that the Gunners already have two world-class strikers in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. But with the injury suffered by Danny Welbeck, he will find more chances and if history is anything to go by, he is going to take make full use of those chances.
Bukayo Saka:
This year, Saka became the first player to play for the Gunners who was born this millennium. It is clear that there are big things expected of the young winger. In the glimpses that we have seen of him so far, he has shown that he is quite skillful. He also has an explosive turn of pace and that will help a lot out on the wings. Though the Gunners do not really play with traditional wingers, Saka is too good to be kept off the team.
One factor that will bring a smile to the faces of Gunners fans is the depth of young talent that is present at the club. If even one of these players fulfills the potential they have, it is going to be very helpful to the club.
