#4 Ben Sheaf

Arsenal v Manchester United - Premier League 2
Ben Sheaf is a versatile young player looking to break into the senior squad

Ben Sheaf was a youth player with West Ham before he was signed by Arsenal when he turned 14. Sheaf is a versatile player and has played both as a central midfielder and a center back for the Arsenal youth teams.

Sheaf is a composed presence on the ball and has a very good ability to read the game. Wenger spoke very highly of the young Englishman and said that Sheaf was always ahead of the game. Sheaf's ability to read and anticipate the next move in the game ensures that he is capable of wonderful interceptions and tackles as well.

Sheaf is highly rated at Arsenal. Arsenal offered him two contracts last year to secure his future with the North London club. Sheaf has already made his senior debut against Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League.

Sheaf went out on loan to Stevenage in League 2 in the second half of last season to get some first team experience under his belt and also to toughen him up for the English Premier League. Expect the versatile player to play some role under Emery, in the seasons to come.
