5 Arsenal Players To Watch During Pre-Season

5. Benik Afobe

Early in his career Afobe was built-up to be a future star and key striker in the Arsenal side. However though the 21 year-olds career has been slowed by a number of injuries and loan moves to a host of Championship sides. You’d have to feel that now is his last chance to make a claim for a spot in the first-team squad. Amazingly, and for whatever reason Afobe has never made a first-team appearance for the Arsenal side. He is a pacy and powerful striker with a good instinct in front of goal and given the chance could prove to be a decent player in the Arsenal squad.

Hopefully he can show the Arsenal fans what he can do, but you’d have to fear that his chances at the club are pretty limited.
