Arsenal receive clear transfer message from Alexis Mac Allister's dad amid summer switch

Arsenal are embroiled in a major fight for the Premier League title this season and despite dropping points three of their four matches this month, they still find themselves top of the table with one game in hand. January additions Leandro Trossard and Jorginho have already shown their worth in helping the cause with quality in depth.

While there will be complete focus on this campaign, behind the scenes there will be an eye on sustaining this form over a much longer period. Youngsters such as Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli give hope that there's plenty to come from this squad for years in the future.

"It’s not easy," Mikel Arteta said on the standards set by his younger cohorts of his squad earlier this season. "At that age and what some of the boys have done at 20 and 23 years old is rare. I don’t know if I’ve seen that in this league, but credit to them, they have the courage and the personality and the maturity to take the moment the way they do, and obviously they have the quality and the talent to do it.”
