The expected departures of the likes of Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson and, if they're not careful, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, could leave a considerable hole in the Arsenal squad: homegrown players.

A quick glance at Gareth Southgate's latest England team tells you that quality domestically-reared footballers are in short supply in the UK, but there are one or two promising players lower down the pyramid.

Arsenal have already signed a senior left-back this summer in the shape of Sead KolaĊĦinac, a free transfer from Schalke.

But Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon - who emerged last season as a goal-getting auxiliary wing-back - could be brought in to shadow him for a couple of seasons. The 17-year-old is already attracting a whole host of Premier League suitors, and his value is set to sky-rocket as his stature in the game continues to grow.
