Arsenal Youth Archives: 06/2016

Fortune’s injury frustration With pre-season already underway, a number of talented youngsters in the u21, u18 and schoolboy set-up are eager to take their chance…

Arsenal’s 19-year-old goalkeeper Ryan Huddart has agreed a deal to join National League side Eastleigh on a season-long loan deal ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.

Ahead of the upcoming campaign, headlines have surrounded the Football League Trophy – which will undergo a significant change.

The official announcement has not yet arrived, despite claims we would have it last week, but everyone seems agreed – Kelechi Nwakali is an Arsenal player. Watch him score a lovely free kick.

Having made his first-team debut in January two years ago, Gedion Zelalem has previously been tipped for future stardom and it seems only a matter of time before he asserts his credentials in the senior side.

In the absence of any actual news about Vardy or Henrikh Mkhitaryan it seems a good time to follow on from last week, where I covered the youth set-ups striking options in detail. This time I’m going to talk about attacking midfielders and wingers.

Hull City have announced that Chuba Akpom and Isaac Hayden will be returning to Arsenal following their season-long loan deals.

So another season has been and gone, with all the excitement, disappointment and Tottenham schadenfreude that comes with being an Arsenal fan in the Emirates era.
