I could have just as easily opted for Lucas Torreira or Alex Iwobi, but I decided I would cap the ageing at 21 years. Pleguezuelo has been around for a while, but only recently has he caught the eye of the Arsenal faithful.

It was in a league cup match which he excelled but if you watch him for the youth team, you will know all about his exploits. The Spanish defender clearly takes inspiration from his countryman Sergio Ramos, as he is also a no-nonsense defender. Whenever there is an opportunity to snatch the ball from the opposing attacker, Pleguezuelo will take it by whatever means necessary.

He has a leader's mentality, which could be pivotal to Arsenal heading forward. Some even say that he should be starting ahead of Shkodran Mustafi now, which wouldn't be a disastrous decision by any means.
