5 Reasons Why Roberto Martinez Will Be The Next Arsenal Manager
2. He Can Bring Youth Through
Another feature of Martinez's management throughout his short career has been his ability to bring through youth players and turn them into superb talents. Ross Barkley is the standout performer of Everton's season so far, with the young England international showing enormous potential that has already earned him a call up to the national team. His role as the fluid playmaker in Martinez's squad has attracted many plaudits for his ability to carry the ball forward at pace, and represents something that has been missing from the Toffees for some time, with Moyes' reign at the club hampered by his lack of attacking play. Like Wenger, Martinez is able to spot a potential world beater, and at a club like Everton he is able to fully utilise this skill, with the Liverpudlian side having a long history of bringing through young talent. Arsenal have worked in similar ways over the past few years, with players such as Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs in particular players that have made their way through the ranks at the Emirates Stadium to become first team regulars. Should Martinez make the step up in a few years time to replace Wenger, he would no doubt continue this long tradition, a trait that the club's fans would surely appreciate in years to come.
