5 Arsenal Players To Watch During Pre-Season

3. Chris Willock

Most fans wouldn’t have heard of Chris Willock before Saturday’s friendly with Boreham Wood, but he is an exciting winger with a bright future ahead. The 16 year-old is expected to travel to the States with the Arsenal squad and will be hoping to showcase his immense potential. He probably won’t be anywhere near the first-team squad for a couple of years and has a huge amount of developing to do, but a stint in and around the first-team will do him no harm. Players such as Jack Wilshere and Cesc Fabregas have been thrown in t0 the first-team fold at a young age which only aided their development as players. Willock still has a lot of work to do but his talent cannot be underestimated and it’ll be intriguing to see how he continues to integrate into the first-team fold, starting this summer.
