The six
players are;
young striker Chuba Akpom who has been on fire this season and scored a hat - truck in the last under 21 game, Gedion Zelalem, the central midfielder who has been compared to Cesc Fabregas, Ainsley Maitland - Niles, the
talented winger who was on the bench for the Stoke game, Stefan O'Connor the
promising 17 - year old centre back who recently signed his first professional contract, Alex Iwobi the Nigerian born winger and nephew of Jay - Jay Okocha and finally the
young defensive midfielder Glen Kamara who also plays for the Finland national team at under 21 level.
Arsenal are one of the many clubs in the Premier League and around Europe that have been linked with the possible signing of the Real Madrid and France international star Raphael Varane, but with the
young centre back regularly being talked about as one of the most
talented and
promising young players in the world over the last few years I never really took much notice of those Arsenal transfer rumours.
