Arsenal's youth production over the last few decades has been arguably some of the most proficient in England, having seemingly ramped up their levels across recent years to increase the quality and quantity of academy emergence.
Bukayo Saka stands as glittering proof of their hard work, but there are many more stars waiting in the shadows to earn a similar chance, and develop into the club's next big thing.
Per Mertesacker, who formerly starred for the Gunners but now oversees the academy, has waxed lyrical about the work they do: "Here at London Colney, U18s, U21s, first team, women's, men's, is more directed into performance, the success, the winning. Hale End is the development environment that we feel is needed more centrally to recruit the right players and people for us to mould them until they arrive onto the full-time programme scholarship and make their transition here."
As such, the likes of Charles Sagoe Jr, Amario Cozier-Duberry, Reuell Walters and more are all seemingly ready for that first-team chance, through the development afforded to them.
They will see Saka as the man to emulate, alongside the star-studded list of previous academy graduates. The likes of Jack Wilshere, Ashley Cole and Paul Merson have all earned varied success at the top level, but few have matched what Cesc Fabregas managed.
How good was Cesc Fabregas?
Although technically a product of Barcelona's infamous La Masia academy, it was not a signing expected to instantly impact the starting XI for Arsene Wenger, given the young Spaniard was just 16.
He was regarded as one for the future, but often if a player is good enough, age marks no barrier.
The midfield maestro proved to be one such example, who slowly worked his way into that senior side with technical brilliance and a tireless work rate that allowed him to stand out in English football.
A string of first-team appearances gave way to his true standout year, as during the 2007/08 season he would score seven and assist 20 in the Premier League alone, finishing the term on 35 goal contributions across all competitions.
Such form would earn praise, with Wenger noting: "Cesc is very like Paul Scholes of Manchester United. He uses his brain and is intelligent in the game. "He has exceptional passing ability and he knows how to time his runs to get into the box, and he's only 20!"
Then, as the Euro 2008 final approached, Spain coach Luis Aragones praised him: "A player like Cesc, who is 21, has acquired the experience of someone who is 28 or 29." So, to showcase such maturity despite being so young arguably made him even greater when he would eventually reach that age, given he would finish his career having won two European Championships, one World Cup, two Premier League titles and a host of domestic honours in Spain and England.
Adapting throughout a sparkling career, the 110-cap magician went from box-to-box dynamo to midfield metronome, starring throughout.

Whilst there are many top midfielders within the Gunners' academy at the moment, the recent performances of Jack Henry-Francis will certainly have caught the eye as someone capable of emulating the Spanish superstar.
Who is Jack Henry-Francis?
Described by Arsenal's official website as 'a box-to-box, energetic midfielder', already the comparisons between the teenage magician and Fabregas begin to form.
Having joined the club aged 12, it has been a steady journey up through the youth ranks for the 19-year-old, who made himself a mainstay for the U21s last season despite his youth.
Such fine form at a level way above his age group even earned him opportunities to train with the first team, as if to emphasise just how close he is to breaking into Mikel Arteta's side.
Recording just two goal contributions across 14 Premier League 2 appearances last campaign was an admirable if slightly disappointing return, but one he is poised to demolish given the blistering start to the new term. He already has one goal after three games at the same level, and shone on Tuesday night in their EFL Trophy demolition of Exeter City.
This year could be the one that truly puts Henry-Francis on the map, although former U21s head coach Kevin Betsy had already sought to do so with his comments back in 2022: "His 360(-degree) awareness is very good. He receives the ball in different positions, is really reliable on the football and he goes unnoticed out of possession.
"Defensively, he picks up good positions and you can see he’s got very good passing range over 10-15 yards but also over 40-50 yards. He’s a very good player, we love working with him".
How did Jack Henry-Francis play vs Exeter City?
Starting in central midfield against a senior outfit, it was a truly comprehensive performance from the visiting youngsters, who brushed aside the Grecians in a 5-0 rout.
Whilst the likes of Sebastien Ferdinand and Sagoe Jr understandably stood out for their fine goalscoring performances, Henry-Francis not only got in on the action, but he did so whilst also dominating every other aspect of the clash too.
He was defensively solid but a creative threat throughout, hugely reminiscent of a young Fabregas who too boasted such a work rate.
As such, the U19s Republic of Ireland international would both score and assist, emphasising his influence with an impressive 74 touches and 84% pass accuracy.
However, perhaps more importantly, his underlying numbers paint the picture of a truly outstanding footballer capable of doing it all. On top of such starring earlier figures, he would also record three key passes whilst making four tackles, winning seven of the 13 duels he competed in too, via Sofascore.
His ability to stand out against seasoned professionals suggests his development at youth level is nearly complete, with the next natural step being into Arteta's first team or out on loan. Whichever is chosen, should he continue his frighteningly sharp upward trajectory, the sky is the limit for the teenage maestro already dominating games.
Should he earn half as much success as Fabregas did across his fine career, this will be another success attributed to Hale End, which continues to prove its worth.
Slater, the 26-year-old opening batsman, is in the middle of a productive season for Derbyshire

Nottinghamshire are closing in on the signing of Derbyshire’s Ben Slater.Slater, the 26-year-old opening batsman, is in the middle of a productive season for Derbyshire – he is averaging 43 in the Championship – and was understood to have attracted the interest of several counties. Only three men in Division Two of the County Championship have scored more runs this season.Nottinghamshire have lost several top-order batsmen – the likes of Greg Smith, Michael Lumb, James Taylor and, from red-ball cricket, at least, Alex Hales – over the last year or two. While Slater is solid in the red-ball game, he also has a fine record in List A cricket where he averages in excess of 50 and recently made a century against a strong Yorkshire attack.Meanwhile, Kent are understood to have shown strong interest in Nottinghamshire’s Matt Milnes and Leicestershire’s Neil Dexter.
Alex Wakely struck only Northants’ second century in the Championship this season as they continued to trade blows with Derbyshire at Chesterfield

Alex Wakely has put Northants in a strong position•Getty Images
ScorecardAlex Wakely scored a century and Matt Critchley celebrated his best first-class figures as Derbyshire and Northamptonshire continued to trade blows in the Division Two County Championship match at Chesterfield.Wakely made 108 and shared a sixth wicket stand of 120 with Steven Crook, 60, but Critchley’s 4 for 88 and 4 for 33 from Tony Palladino triggered a late collapse that limited Northants to 289 and a slender lead of 29.Half centuries from Ben Slater on his home patch and Wayne Madsen tilted the initiative towards Derbyshire until two late wickets from Seekkuge Prasanna left the contest intriguingly poised at the end of day two with the home side 147 for 4, 118 on.Northants had looked on course for a sizeable lead when Wakely and Crook batted into the afternoon after Derbyshire had taken two wickets in six overs.Nathan Buck extended his nightwatchman duties by 35 minutes before he was tempted into driving at the second ball from Critchley and was well caught low down by Billy Godleman at mid off.Godleman grassed a simpler chance in Critchley’s next over but Richard Levi did not make the most of the reprieve and was deceived by one from Hardus Viljoen that came back.At 118 for 5, Derbyshire had an opening but Crook and Wakely played with increasing authority as Derbyshire’s bowlers tired in the sweltering conditions.Wakely pulled Critchley for six and when off-spinner Hamidullah Qadri replaced him at the Lake End, he drove him for two sixes in an over.After passing 6,000 first-class runs, Wakely pulled Critchley for his 12th four to reach his first hundred of the season and only the second by a Northants player this summer.But Critchley got one to turn and bounce to have Wakely well caught at slip by Madsen and the innings went into sharp decline when Josh Cobb drove back a return catch.Crook was lbw to one that nipped back from Palladino and Prasanna perished trying to hit Critchley out of the ground before Palladino defeated Brett Hutton’s defensive push.Ben Sanderson had Billy Godleman caught behind with Derbyshire only eight in front but Slater and Wayne Madsen took control before Prasanna provided a late twist with two wickets.Slater had reeled off some flowing drives to pass 50 but then chipped Prasanna tamely to short midwicket before Alex Hughes was trapped lbw stretching forward to the Sri Lankan.Madsen completed his sixth 50 of the season but Sanderson bowled nightwatchman Dan Wheeldon with one that kept low four overs before the close.
Southampton return to action after the international break in the Championship this afternoon as they travel away from St. Mary's to take on Hull City.
Russell Martin's side are coming into this clash off the back of a 1-1 draw with Rotherham at home in their last league outing, thanks to a stunning equaliser from Jordan Hugill.
The Scottish head coach may look to make changes to his starting XI in order to bounce back and claim all three points today but one player he must stick with is Che Adams.
Southampton had 22 shots and racked up 3.23 xG against Rotherham but failed to secure the win as they only found the back of the net once from those efforts, which puts the attacking players in the spotlight as they were unable to make the most of the chances that fell their way.
What's the latest on Ross Stewart's fitness?
The Scotland international has been in first-team training with the Saints in recent weeks as he continues to step up his recovery from the Achilles injury that was suffered at the start of the year during his time with Sunderland.
Former Sunderland striker Ross Stewart.
However, it appears that his involvement against Hull will be limited to a place on the bench, at best, as the club try to ease him into the fold after his move from the Black Cats during the summer window.
This means that Southampton's alternative striker option is Sekou Mara, who has scored one goal in 28 league appearances since the start of last season.
The French attacker has failed to contribute with a single goal, assist, or 'big chance' created, in six Championship clashes so far this term, after one goal in 22 Premier League games during the 2022/23 campaign.
Will Che Adams start against Hull?
With Stewart unlikely to start, Martin must start Adams against the Tigers this afternoon as the talented marksman has the potential to be the match-winner.
The 27-year-old whiz missed one 'big chance' against Rotherham but he has also scored three goals and created three 'big chances' in five Championship starts this term.
Only Adam Armstrong (seven) has scored more goals for the club this term and these statistics suggest that the Scottish gem does have the quality to make a big impact at this level.
Southampton forward Che Adams.
Adams also loves playing against Hull as he boasts a terrific career record against today's opponents from his time with Birmingham in the second tier.
The £52k-per-week finisher has scored four goals in three matches against the Tigers so far and has not scored more than four against any other team at any level. They are also the only side that the impressive forward has scored four against in fewer than five matches.
Therefore, Adams, who Ralph Hasenhuttl once hailed for his "fantastic" attitude, should retain his place within the starting line-up this afternoon, instead of dropping him in favour of Mara or Stewart, who is lacking match fitness.
The Scotland international has proven himself to be an excellent option at Championship level, in spite of his off-day against Rotherham, and has the potential to add to his superb record against Hull today.

وحسب ما أفادت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية، فقد رفض نادي إيفرتون عرضًا رسميًا مقدماً من مانشستر يونايتد، للتعاقد مع جاريد برانثويت خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية.
وأشارت التقارير إلى أن مانشستر يونايتد قدم 45 مليون جنيه إسترليني بالإضافة إلى 5 ملايين إسترليني إضافات.
ويرى إيفرتون أن ذلك المبلغ بعيد عن سعر اللاعب الحقيقي، حيث يرى النادي الذي يتخذ ليفربول مقرًا له، أن برانثويت يشبه جفارديول لاعب مانشستر سيتي والمزيد من اللاعبين من الطراز الأول، وقيمته السوقية أكبر من ذلك بكثير.
اللاعب صاحب الـ22 عامًا لديه عقد مع إيفرتون حتى صيف 2027، وارتفعت قيمته السوقية خلال الموسم الماضي بعدما تألق مع الفريق وساهم في بقاء التوفيز في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

O departamento de comunicação do São Paulo não divulgou maiores informações sobre o treinamento da tarde desta terça, mas o elenco contou com o reforço de Tchê Tchê – que havia sido reintegrado na última segunda. O Tricolor não terá nenhum desfalque, fora os já lesionados Walce, Rojas, Lucas Perri e Liziero, todos fora de combate há, pelo menos, três semanas.
Sendo assim, é muito provável que o técnico Fernando Diniz não faça qualquer alteração em sua equipe titular. O São Paulo deve entrar no gramado do Morumbi no seu tradicional 4-4-2, escalado com Tiago Volpi; Juanfran, Diego Costa, Bruno Alves e Reinaldo; Luan, Daniel Alves, Gabriel Sara e Igor Gomes; Brenner e Luciano.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to offer a "magician" of a player around eight-times his current wages to join Ange Postecoglou at Spurs.
Spurs form under Postecoglou
The north Londoners are enjoying one of their best ever starts to a season under Postecoglou, and their most fruitful since the 1960/1961 campaign. Spurs actually won a domestic double that year, prompting real excitement at their drastic change in fortunes since chairman Daniel Levy's new manager arrived from Celtic in June. The Australian has taken everyone by surprise. Postecoglou, speaking to the media recently, also heaped praise on his players for wanting to change the "destiny" of their club.
"I don't think it is fair to compare to last season, and speak about what happened then. It is all credit to the players, the way they have bought into what we are trying to do.
"We are really tight as a group, which you see because not only are we winning games, but apart from the football, which has been good, the resilience we have shown has been great. The players want to change the destiny of this club and that is what they are trying to do on the pitch."
Tottenham's electric form has also motivated praise from some pundits, like a former Arsenal striker and Gunners legend, who said the "underrated" Postecoglou has shocked everyone.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou.
"It’s underrated,” said Ian Wright to Premier League productions recently.
“It’s an underrated effort he is doing, at the minute. Major Ange Postecoglou fans. I remember people saying at the start that ‘he needs to start well’. With the players he has got, you want them to do well and win some games and stuff. But I didn’t expect it to be in the grove it is now and so quickly."
While the Postecoglou hype is well and truly in full flow, there are still suggestions that Tottenham may look to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. Their lack of depth behind in-form centre-back pairing Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven has led to reports that the likes of Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson, Juventus star Gleison Bremer, Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly and Bayer Leverkusen star Edmond Tapsoba are being considered as new defensive options.
Brentford's Ivan Toney has been mentioned as a target to potentially replace star striker Harry Kane in 2024, with Postecogolou also reportedly keen to sign a foil for Dejan Kulusevski. The likes of Al-Ittihad winger Jota and Galatasaray star Kerem Akturkoglu are linked, and a new report from Turkey has news on the latter.
Kerem Akturkoglu transfer update
Sharing an Akturkoglu transfer update, FotoSpor suggest that Spurs could now be prepared to offer eight times the midfielder's £5,000-per-week salary to join Postecoglou in north London. This comes after the "magician", as translated in the report, rejected the offer of a new deal at his current club. It is believed an offer could come in from Tottenham to Akturkoglu of around £40,000-per-week, which would dramatically upgrade his current terms.
The 24-year-old, who's currently playing alongside former Lilywhites defender Davinson Sanchez in the Turkish Super Lig, has netted three goals and assisted four others in the top flight alone so far this season. However, Tottenham are not alone in their admiration of Akturkoglu, as West Ham may also consider offering the Turkey international a huge pay rise.
West Indies’ Under-19 heroes of 2016 – Hetmyer and Keemo Paul – combine to deliver Guyana victory under new captain Shoaib Malik
The Report by Peter Della Penna10-Aug-2018Shimron Hetmyer struck a match-winning half-century•Getty Images
Guyana Amazon Warriors avenged a Lauderhill sweep at the hands of St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in 2017 courtesy an action-packed unbeaten half-century from local hero Shimron Hetmyer on Friday.Chris Gayle made 86 as well, after being sent in to bat, and it seemed a match-winning hand on a sticky Providence surface. After all, the next best score of the innings was a mere 15.St Kitts even had the hosts at 24 for 3 in a chase of 147, but the ploy to use Tom Cooper’s part-time offspin went awry as the first three balls of the fourth over were creamed for a four and two sixes by Hetmyer. This swung momentum in Guyana’s favour, and there was no looking back after that, with victory eventually achieved in 16.3 overs.Gayle’s stroke of luck Each team’s leading scorer on the night profited heavily from major let-offs early in their innings. For St Kitts, the Universe Boss was stone dead on 5 after missing a sweep in the second over against Chris Green’s offspin. But umpire Nigel Duguid ignored the appeal and Gayle made the most of the reprieve. The St Kitts captain grafted his way through the first half of the innings, scoring at less than a run a ball, before spanking Green over long-on, twice, to end the 10th over.Gayle brought up a 41-ball half-century in the 13th and then accelerated sharply until he fell thanks to a sensational effort from Sherfane Rutherford. The 19-year old sprinted in from the cover boundary before diving forward to complete the catch and end Gayle’s stay 14 short of a century.It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Sherfane! Rutherford’s catch to dismiss Gayle made amends for shelling a skier from Cooper at the square leg boundary in the 11th over. And he continued the good work with another spectacular catch, running in from the boundary and leaping forwards at the ball, to dismiss Anton Devcich. Keemo Paul’s figures after claiming Devicich’s wicket were almost as brilliant as Rutherford’s pair of catches. The fast bowler finished with 2 for 16 in his four overs to keep St Kitts to 146 for 5.Sherfane Rutherford attempts a near impossible catch•Getty Images
Sheldon and Sandy show Gayle tossed the new ball to fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell and Nepal legspinner Sandeep Lamichhane and the result was three wickets in three overs. Cottrell carried over his brilliant form from the Global T20 Canada, where he was the tournament’s leading wicket-taker for the champions Vancouver Knights, knocking out Luke Ronchi for a duck in the first over.Lamichhane’s first delivery in the CPL was far from the best ball he’s ever bowled, but Chadwick Walton drove the leg-stump half-volley straight to Ben Cutting at mid-on to make the leave 9 for 2. Shoaib Malik counterattacked with three boundaries off Cottrell before the left-arm pacer had reason to break out his salute celebration again as the Pakistan batsman was caught behind for 14. Guyana were 24 for 3 after three oversThomas lapse proves costly as Hetmyer blazes away It could easily have been 24 for 4, considering Lamichanne’s first over had produced a second chance. Hetmyer, facing his first ball, was deceived by a googly and was stranded outside his crease but wicketkeeper Devon Thomas barely even laid a glove on the ball.Rather than stick with Lamichhane and continue attacking, Gayle tossed the ball to Cooper for the fourth over. Out came a half-tracker. Hetmyer swatted it for four. Then came two full tosses, which were clubbed for six. It was the start of a nine-ball sequence that shifted the momentum in favour of Guyana as they zoomed from 24 for 3 to 61 for 3.Alzarri Joseph began the fifth over with a no-ball, which Hetmyer clattered through point for four. The free hit was sent over midwicket for six. The next ball was a wayward bouncer and it was ruled as a wide, meaning Joseph had conceded 12 runs off only one legal delivery.Hetmyer scored 36 runs off the 10 balls that followed Thomas’ fluffed stumping, bringing the required run-rate under a-run-a-ball even as the Powerplay was in progress.Despite three more terrific overs from Lamichhane, who ended the day with figures of 2 for 12, Hetmyer faced little pressure. He coasted to his fifty off 29 balls before meting out punishment to Ben Cutting as well, striking the fast bowler for two fours and a six in the 16th over. Hetmyer then drove his 2016 Under-19 World Cup team-mate Joseph down the ground for his ninth boundary of the night to put the seal on an emphatic victory.
