Arsenal's Hale End academy has been the envy of many clubs for years, but the recent trust placed back in the production of youth talent has seen it hit new heights. Plenty of youngsters have since gone on to become first-team superstars, with Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nkeitah being just three to mention.
While they are established in the squad now, the next generation of superstars isn't too far behind as the Gunners prepare for their next influx of stars. Youngster Charlie Patino is one of those, spending time on loan with Championship side Blackpool, while Folarin Balogun is another currently with French side Reims for the season.
The latter has certainly captured the headlines in the course of the past few months, with his 15 goals in 25 Ligue 1 appearances so far. It has helped Reims go on an unbeaten streak that is one of the best in Europe and has brought about plenty of notoriety for manager Will Still.
