I know what you thinking “Why is Wenger trying to sign another youngster?”. Well by all accounts Israeli international Gai Assulin is a quality player in the making and could well break into the first team picture next term. Chelsea are also considering making a move but one would imagine the young playmaker would be more tempted by a move to the Emirates knowing that the Gunners boss is more likely to trust to youth.

Some have unwisely drawn parallels between Assulin and Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas, a comparison that makes no sense as the playing style of the two are quite different and indeed the Spanish international had already achieved a great deal more than the Barca man at the same age.
