#3 Miguel Azeez
Miguel Azeez is another player Arsenal fans should definitely keep an eye on. The 18-year-old is a central midfielder and has become one of the most important players for Arsenal's U23 side. Azeez signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in September last year.
The youngster revealed that he likes to sculpt his playing style Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets and Arsenal could certainly do with a player like him. Like Bukayo Saka, Azeez was fast-tracked at times, playing with age groups well beyond his own.
He initially started out as a box-to-box midfielder but recently switched to holding midfield. With Arsenal lacking depth in that position, the switch gives Azeez a chance to prove he could be the long-term solution to the Gunners' problem.
Azeez made his debut for the first team in a Europa League match against Dundalk FC last season and will now be looking to take the next step in his career.
#2 Charlie Patino
Charlie Patino is still very unknown, especially to football fans outside of Arsenal. But the 17-year-old is tipped to be the next big thing to come out of the famed Hale End Academy.
Since joining Arsenal, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding Patino, with some rumors suggesting that he is better than Jack Wilshere was at 16. There have also been comparisons drawn with Manchester City star Phil Foden.
At 17, Patino might not be ready to play first-time football next season, but it would not be a surprise to see him come off the bench a few times in cup competitions. There are rumors going around that Mikel Arteta might not want to loan him out this season in favor of a promotion to the senior side.
Another reason to be excited about him is that Arsenal handed him the No. 87 shirt. The last person to wear that number was none other than Arsenal's current star boy Bukayo Saka.
#1 Kido Taylor-Hart
Another relatively unknown player on this list is Kido Taylor-Hart, but it may not be long before fans sit up and take notice of the young talent. Arsenal were desperate to tie him down to a new contract and it looks like the deal has been finalized.
The exciting winger had a superb 2020-21 season, but an unfortunate injury derailed his development. Taylor-Hart still managed to score a commendable 13 goals last season.
He usually plays on the left flank and has impressed coaches with his tactical nous and is very well equipped to play first-team football for Arsenal. Taylor-Hart's height, skill and other attributes have been viewed in comparison to Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane.
His future at Arsenal was momentarily in question and Taylor-Hart had several top clubs after him, but Arteta has managed to convince him to stay.
Arsenal's pre-season friendlies could be key for Taylor-Hart as he looks to further his progress. He is bound to get some playing time with Saka on an extended holiday after the Euros. Gabriel Martinelli also looks set to join up with the Brazilian team for the Tokyo Olympics, which should give Taylor-Hart some first-team experience during the pre-season.
