Ones to watch: Four young stars who are ready to sparkle
Reiss Nelson
After an impressive spell on loan with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim last season, Arsenal's England Under-21 winger Nelson could be ready to make a splash at Emirates Stadium.
The 19-year-old heads a promising group of young talent emerging from Arsenal's academy that also includes midfielder Joe Willock and forward Eddie Nketiah.
Coming on as an early substitute in the Emirates Cup preseason friendly against Lyon in July, Nelson provided an injection of pace and trickery on the wings and was at the heart of almost every Arsenal attack.
Nelson remains a work in progress, but is confident of imposing himself this term and said fans would be "shocked" to see his progress.
"Arsene Wenger gave me my first Premier League start (at 18) and I was very immature," he said. "Now I have a more mature role about me."
