The Arsenal supporters here in the Transfer Tavern are mightily depressed at the moment, with the Gunners looking likely to miss out on a place in next season’s Champions League for the first time in close to 20 years.

The Gunners are nowhere near the summit of the Premier League and their poor league form has seen long serving manager Arsene Wenger come under increasing pressure, with the Frenchman fighting to save his job.

Wenger does look to be on borrowed time at the club after over 20 years at the club, with a run of 13 seasons without winning the Premier League a serious cause for concern.

One area which Arsenal supporters can be proud of however is the youth academy, with the Gunners boasting some talented players that could be on the cusp of a first-team chance

Our landlord looks at TWO youngsters who are rising stars of the football club….

Ainsley Maitland-Niles

The young Arsenal winger has featured heavily in the cup competitions this year and he could be the next youngster to become a quality player in the first-team.

One Arsenal fan is having a game of pool here in the Tavern and he thinks that the 19-year-old is a shining star for the future, stating that he should be given a chance in more matches between now and the end of the campaign.

Cohen Bramall

The young defender was signed during the January transfer window from non-league side Hednesford Town and looks set for a promising future after impressing for the development team.

One Arsenal fan is sat in the Tavern enjoying a pint of the landlord’s real ale and he thinks that Bramall should be given a chance to feature regularly for the club next season.
