Arsenal working on loan deal to send Spanish youngster Jon Toral to Rangers, says Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger's young guns

• 1/8 Alex Iwobi

  An increasingly familiar presence in the Arsenal squad, Iwobi played in nine of the final ten games of last season under Wenger, who has spoken of his pride in the progression of yet another young star.

• 2/8 Jeff Reine-Adelaide

  A cult icon at the Emirates already, 'The Jeff' only turned 18 in January but is already a regular in the Under-21 side and has made several cameos for the full side, none more impressive than his pre-season display in an Emirates Cup win over Wolfsburg.

• 3/8 Matt Macey

  The 6'6" giant of a keeper has emerged as Wenger's third-choice goalkeeper and has been called up to the bench whenever David Ospina has been injured. With the likes of Emiliano Martinez and Wojciech Szczesny out on loan his long-term hopes of being Arsenal's No.1 may be slim but he is highly rated at Colney.

• 4/8 Krystian Bielik

  Signed for £2.5million last January Bielik has captained Arsenal's youth sides and was one of the few players to emerge from the debacle that was the 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday with any credit.

• 5/8 Julio Pleguezuelo

  A cultured centre-half who traded in the Barcelona youth setup for Colney, his progress has been disrupted by injuries but he has the backing of Hector Bellerin in his bid for success at Arsenal.

• 6/8 Chris Willock

  An England youth-international the 18-year-old has been on Wenger's radar for two years after playing in a first-team friendly at just 16. Made further appearances for the first team during last summer's tour of Singapore, impressing in a wide role.

• 7/8 Dan Crowley

  Struggled with the pressured climate of the Championship drop zone when on loan at Charlton but the ball-playing midfielder remains highly thought of at the Emirates, where he is viewed as a potential successor to Jack Wilshere.

• 8/8 Gedion Zelalem

  On loan at Rangers last season the midfielder, who appeared for Arsenal in the 2014 FA Cup campaign, has been praised by Mark Warburton, who extended his loan deal until the end of the season. Expect the 19-year-old to push for a first-team place on his return.
