Abeid is a very talented midfielder. After signing for Newcastle United from French club Lens, Abeid made his official debut against Nottingham Forest in the Carling Cup last season. His performances in pre season friendlies were very impressive and he even scored against Turkish side Fenerbahce. It looks like the talented teenager is finally going to get his share of playing time in the premier league this season. Having watched the likes of fellow Frenchmen Cabaye and Ben Arfa, he may feel it’s his time to shine as well.

Kerim Frei

The former Swiss U-21 and now wannabe Turkish international made just 6 starts last season. If you are eager to see a glimpse of the potential he has, just watch his man of the match performance against Chelsea last season. Blessed with superb technique, pace and skills, the 18 yr old attacking midfielder can create havoc for premier league defenders. Now that senior players Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele have been sold, this young attacker is set to be unleashed this season.

Adam Morgan

Liverpool loaned out Andy Carroll this summer and surprisingly, they didn’t buy any striker other than Fabio Borini. And with Borini and Suarez both starting, Rodgers doesn’t have any option on the bench for the striker position. In such a situation, Brendon Rodgers might give a chance to young striker Adam Morgan. Billed as the “new Robbie Fowler” by the Anfield faithfuls, Morgan scored his first goal for the senior squad against Toronto FC in a pre-season friendly. He also played against Roma and started against Tottenham. At just 18 years of age, Morgan is making a rapid rise.

Ross Barkley

“He [Barkley] will be one of the best players we’ll ever see in this country”, were the exact words from Martin keown, when he was asked of his opinion on Ross Barkley. And at least I won’t be surprised if this prophecy comes true. He was expected to go out on loan for first team football, but the departures of Jack Rodwell and Tim Cahill has made sure the teenager is going to get enough playing time this season. A box to box midfielder with great vision and tons of energy, Ross Barkley is a real gem.

Steven Caulker

20 year old Steven Caulker was part of the Swans defence that kept 14 clean sheets last season. He also started all of Great Britain’s olympic matches and was praised for his performances. Confident on the ball and decent in the air, this young centre back has proved that he’s good enough to play in the premier league. And now that Ledley king has retired and Kaboul injured, Caulker is very likely to make his breakthrough in the heart of the Spurs defence this year.

Ryo Miyaichi

Loaned out to Bolton for the second half of the last season and despite his overall impressive performances, Arsene Wenger again loaned out Ryo Miyaichi this summer. Under Roberto Martinez, Ryo will surely get enough playing time. The 19 year old is pacey and very skillful, but his main strengths lies in the football IQ he possesses. Now that Victor Moses has left for Chelsea, Wigan would expect Ryo to take some of the big responsibilities and Arsenal would look forward to see how he develops this season.

Nick Powell

Manchester United‘s one of the new 18 year old summer signings, Nick powell is an extremely talented midfielder. If you’ve any questions on his talent, then you must see his goal in the League Two playoff final last season. He scored 16 goals last season for Crewe and that’s very impressive for a midfielder of his age. He’s a box to box midfielder who has a good vision and has an eye for goals. He’s active in his defensive duties too. Despite the presence of Scholes, Kagawa, Carrick, Cleverley, Nick can still make a mark this time.

Lucas Piazon

Labelled as the new Kaka by Chelseas fans, whether he really is only time will tell. But his playing style does make him look like Kaka, at times. Primarily a striker, Lucas has also played as a winger but it’s the position behind the striker where he has been more effective. Though he was on bench for Chelsea in a few games last season, he never got a chance and despite the arrival of oscar, it’s likely that Roberto Di Matteo will give Lucas the chance he deserves this season. And if all goes well, Lucas is surely the next big thing for Chelsea, as stated by Chelsea fans.

Raheem Sterling

Brendon Rodgers doesn’t have many forward options at his disposal right now and he has already shown his trust in highly rated teenager Raheem sterling. At just 17, Raheem’s rapid rise has been catching this year. He scored a cracker against Bayer Leverkusen in a pre-season friendly and has already started in 2 of Liverpool’s 3 league games this season. Surely, the way he has performed, it’d be very unfair to not call him one of the best youngsters in the world. With the help of lightning speed, quick feet and wonderful skills, Raheem can create havocs for premier league defences this season.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Definitely, he doesnt need any introduction now. Not just because of his sudden emergence at Arsenal, but also, because of his shock inclusion in England’s Euro squad.  Alex “the OX” Chamberlain, as called by Gooners, has been a total revelation during the past 1 year. Last season, he gave a few memorable performances, specially against Manchester City, Manchester United and Blackburn. The 18 year old attacker started against Liverpool this season and gave a decent performance. Against Moldova, in the world cup qualifier, he reminded how easily he can rule over a defence. Though we saw glimpses of Alex’s potential last season, we will be able to see more of the teenager this season, as it looks like Arsene Wenger is set to give more responsibilities to him.

Will the Gunners able to hold on to Walcott?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident that Theo Walcott won’t join the Arsenal exodus and will sign a contract extension.

After selling club captain and Premier League top scorer of last season, Robin Van Persie to Manchester United and Alex Song to Barcelona, the North London-based club is worried it might lose yet another star.

Theo Walcott has one year remaining in his contract and has attracted interests from Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter and Juventus.

However, Arsene Wenger insists that the club is confident of reaching an agreement.

‘We will try to sort it out one way or the other,’ said Wenger.

‘We want to extend his contract, and to keep him at the club. His desire is also right, he wants to stay and we need to find an agreement.’

Bendtner may be on his way out this season

Wenger also said, that the club is looking to sell some  players such as Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner and Russian captain Andrei Arshavin.

‘We have some players who can go out,’ he said.

‘I have a clear idea of what I want to do, if it happens, it happens.’

Arsene Wenger also admitted that the club is in the market for a defensive midfielder, only if the right one is available. Arsenal sold Alex Song to Barcelona last weekend and it doesnt seem they have much options in that position. Apart from Francis Coquelin, there’s no completely defensive minded midfielder, which Wenger is looking for. but Coquelin is not yet ready to be handed a first team place.

“If someone really top, top class comes up… I do not need to buy an average midfielder,” said Wenger. “If someone top, top class turns up, completely defensive, we will consider it.

“If you look at the numbers you will see that Song was more of an offensive player than a defensive midfielder,” he added. “Arteta can play deeper – the kind of Pirlo role – and we have Diaby who is a very strong defensive player.

“We have Coquelin who is also doing very well. I’ve played many games with Diaby and Wilshere [in midfield] and they were very efficient.”

Will the highly-rated midfield sign for the Gunners?

The Gunners are being linked with a number of defensive midfielders after Song departed for Barcelona. its believed Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila will finally switch to the London club, but there’s no agreement yet and there are other options too.

A Belgian born attacking midfielder, versatile enough to play as a winger, is attracting attention from many European giants. Also he is a fantastic dribbler with terrific ball control, who won the French Ligue 1 player of the year award, helped his club Lille to win the domestic league title after 50 years. These are just a few of the things used to describe Lille hotshot winger/attacking midfielder Eden Hazard.

Arsenal has been regularly linked with a move that brings Hazard to the Emirates. It was even said that a club record bid was placed in this previous transfer window,  however Lille refused to lose another star to the same club after selling Gervinho. Arsene Wenger has not kept his interest in Hazard a secret, and is trying very hard for his signature. The fans are also excited about his imminent move, but do we really need him?

well, in my opinion, we don’t need him at the moment.

Here are some of my reasons:

1. Firstly we have Alex Chamberlain and Ryo Miyaichi who are extremely talented and can be equally explosive as Hazard. Well, do I need to tell you about chamberlain?  he was bought for reportedly 12 million pounds in summer and he’s just 18. He made his premier league debut in a 8-2 loss to Manchester United away, he scored a goal in his champions league debut and also scored a fantastic long ranger against Shrewsbury in the Carling Cup. He has devastating speed, good at trickery, excellent dribbling skills.

And then we have a Kapanese kid, who went directly to playing European football from High school football. He played 12 matches in his short loan spell at Feyenoord, and scored 3 goals and provided 5 assists. Isn’t that incredible for a young kid? The Dutch media gave him the nickname “Ryodinho” after comparisons to Ronaldinho were made. He has also been branded the Japanese Messi.

2. With the departures of Fabregas and Samir Nasri, the creativity in Arsenal’s midfield was found missing for a couple of games. Arsenal game requires a play maker to fill in for the missing creativity and since we already bought Arteta –  who’s growing in his role day by day – we don’t need to waste money by spending big on Eden Hazard.  Arsenal can’t expect their captain to bail them out of a tight situation every time. Somebody should support him from behind and  provide those killer passes to Van Persie. And I don’t see Eden Hazard doing this job. He’s a winger, and a attacking midfielder who likes to take on defenders, run through defences and we already have Ryo, Alex, Gervinho, Walcott for that.

3. MLS  player Brek Shea is on trial at Arsenal as we speak. Oh yes, the American youngster is currently training with the Arsenal squad. well, he’s simply awesome in my words. He’s called the American “Torres”. Shea is a very deadly attacker. I haven’t seen any American player before who has such good speed and close ball control, and his finishing and long range shooting are too good. Well I just hope he gets a permanent contract and he becomes a gunner. He would cost Arsenal anything in range of 10-15 million pounds.

4. Marco Reus, a German young midfielder/forward is also on the Arsenal radar. This isn’t a rumor anymore. Gladbach manager, Favre has admitted that Arsene inquired about Reus last summer. Reus has an exit clause of 15million pounds and he’s on the wish list of Bayern Munich too. Marco has openly stated that Arsenal is the club he has supported since his childhood. Well, at 20, he’s already a German international, his speed, dribbling and finishing are his key attributes. Spending 15 million pounds on a youngster who has already scored 10 times and provided nine assists in the Bundesliga is a very sweet deal, rather than breaking the bank on a player who will leave us after a season or two for a Spanish club.
