However, Sangoe Jr. will still have the opportunity to show off his talent with Arteta during the summer tour before deciding whether he will keep the first team or have to continue being loaned to another team.
Amario Cozier-Duberry
Amario Cozier-Duberry possesses excellent speed, skillful technique and accurate scoring ability, helping him make a good impression on many fans early on.

Myles Lewis-Skelly
Myles Lewis-Skelly is one of the many talented young players at Arsenal that everyone is talking about. The defensive midfielder can dribble the ball strongly while also skillfully retaining and gaining control of the ball.
