Who Has World Class Potential At Arsenal?

Arsenal have the most impressive record in the country and are top 3 in Europe when it comes to developing young talent. I'd probably have Dortmund & Barca as the other 2, Southampton are notable but the lack of opportunity they get to develop these players themselves rules them out.

Wenger has slightly ditched his reliance on youngsters but always has his eye out for a gem, in the current squad we have a few. Here's the levels I think our young players can reach with the right development (which could depend on managerial changes).

Ox - World Class - Sky's The Limit for him

Ramsey - World Class - "............................"

Wilshere - World Class - " ............................. "

Shezza - World Class - " ...................................."

Gnabry - Top Class - Lavezzi level

Joel Campbell - Top Class - Pedro level... could go all Bale on us and suddenly become world class out of nothing

Sanogo - Very Good - Adebayor level... he'll be Unplayable on his day useless on others

Akpom - Very good - Sturridge level..... Goal machine with the swagger and arrogance to succeed.

Jenkinson - Solid - Neville level... will be the best English RB since Gary that's for sure having had Walker & Johnson drop the standard in recent years

Miquel - Very Good - Pique level... he's good on the ball, defending isn't the worse but will suit our style, strong in the air too. If Mert takes him under his wing he can end up being top class

Wellington Silva - World Class - Amazing skills

Gibbs - World Class - Cole level (if stays fit)

Miyachi - Good - Navas level

Zelalem - World Class - Fabregas level

Martinez - Decent - Mannone level

Afobe - Decent - Hernandez level.... doesn't offer much else but knows where the goal is

Bellerin - Top class - A right sided Jordi Alba

This is their potential not all may reach those levels some may even exceed my predictions we have a strong group though.

If we get Lascalles this summer he'll be added to the world class list as a Rio Ferdinand (in his prime). If Lansbury comes back then he can be very good like a Marchisio level. If Draxler comes he'll be world class too.

---------------------------------Shezza-----
-Jenks/Bellerin---Lascalles---Miquel--Gibbs
-----------------Ramsey-----Zelalem----Wilshere----
---Ox-------------------------------------------------------W. Silva
------------------------------Draxler--------------

Subs: Martinez, Jenks/Bellerin, N/A, Lansbury, Campbell, Gnabry, Sanogo/Akpom.

Pogba could eventually decide to make his dream a reality and join and would take Zelalem's place if so, another world class potential player, Yaya level

The mind boggles
