Any fan here in the Transfer Tavern loves seeing the latest youngster come through at their club and the Arsenal fans are certainly no different.
There’s a buzz of expectation around the next prospect donning the kit of your club because, at the end of the day, he could be part of the future successes of his respective side.
Seeing good players come through means that big things are expected to come over the coming years and, ultimately, people want a title out of it.
The pressure to make it, then, is massive.
The player themselves has it all to prove not just to his more experienced team-mates and manager but to the fans and to themselves too.
It can potentially make or break a career and our landlord reckons at Arsenal these THREE, for one reason or another, need to start proving they can cut it with the elite…
Jeff Reine-Adelaide
Much is expected of the young winger and that’s why he finds himself on the first-team’s books already.
He does, however, need to make sure he shows that he belongs there.
It’s all very well just being in and around the first team but now is the time he needs to start making an impression, and showing he can compete with the best because if he doesn’t he could be gone.
Chuba Akpom
Akpom has been at the club for some time but he simply hasn’t shown enough to be the first team’s forward.
With Olivier Giroud struggling and Lucas Perez himself still needing to improve, Akpom has a chance to be the main man but so far, at least, he just hasn’t been able to step up and he may find himself moving on soon
Krystian Bielik
A lot is expected of Bielik and that is why he needs to show he’s good enough.
Young centre-halves are always interesting to watch as it’s one of the most under pressure areas on the entire pitch, and you often see them changing position to go into the holding midfield role or a full-back.
It’ll be intriguing to see how Bielik deals with it.
