As another season draws to a close it marks the end of another term without a trophy for Arsenal.

Despite being England’s sole representative in the last 16 of the Champions League, which can now only be rendered as a moral victory, the pressure is growing on Arsene Wenger to deliver. The mercurial Frenchman’s recent buys have been scrutinised for not performing to the standard required and there is a sense that this will be his last throw of the dice.

Arsenal are expected to have a summer clear out at the end of the season with up to seven players expected to make their way out of The Emirates.

New blood is definitely needed, and below is a list of five young players who could really add some spice to their squad.

1. Christian Benteke (Aston Villa)

A virtual unknown before his summer move to Aston Villa last year, the 6’3 Belgian has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. With 17 goals in 32 appearances for The Villans, he’s playing a major role in their push for survival and their run to the Capital One Cup semi final.
