The next Fabregas will come from Arsenal's new young guns – and he could be British!
Arsene Wenger has a wealth of home-grown stars waiting to burst into the Premier League, as well as a global reservoir of talent – with more on the way.

Arsene Wenger has a history of cherry-picking the best young talent from around the world. First it was Cesc Fabregas, then Gael Clichy and Theo Walcott. The current crop of youngsters at the Emirates includes the likes of Fran Merida, Nacer Barazite, Havard Nordtveit and home-grown youngsters such as Henri Lansbury, Rhys Murphy and Jack Wilshere.
But who will be the next young stars to come under Wenger's guidance? Arsenal have already signed Ignasi Miquel from Cornella in Spain and Oguzhan Ozyakup from AZ in Holland. They will be joined by the exciting Under-16 stars Benik Afobe, Samir Carruthers, Sam Byles and Nico Yennaris, but will Arsenal again bring in more young talent from abroad?
Here are just a few possible new stars who could be joining the Arsenal ranks next season:
Nikolay Dimitrov: Bulgarian Under-21 winger who currently plays for Levski Sofia. Dimitrov spent a week on trial with Arsenal at the end of last season and impressed all of the coaching staff.

Of course they will, Arsene has many English players in reserves and youth who have the chance, what he wont do is spend stupid money on any player JUST because he is English. In any case, any British player who gets linked to Arsenal, suddenly doubles in price and then is bought by Chelsea to warm the bench. Albeit, we havent seen Avram Grant do this yet, he may not adopt this policy - we will see in the transfer window

Wilshere will be a god, a cross between Fabregas and Gazza.

NO NO NONE OF THE ABOVE. GUYS I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NURI SAHIN. Check him out on youtube. 19 outrageously G I F T E D with plenty of experience. We have been linked with him for three years, offers always turned away. Even 12 mill would be a bargain. Or Samir Nasri.
Whilst reading the headline of this ridiculous story I got disturbed by what looked like a large pink farm animal flying past my living room window just after reading the words Arsenal and British!!!!!!
Wayne Rooney's flying out early!

i agree Nuri Sahin looks very promising. he remind me of C. Ronaldo, quick, tricky, good passer and an intelligant player. Still very oung if we get him now for cheap then we'll be laughing in the futrue. So come on Mr Wenger get the cheque book out.

c'mon arsene... you know nuri sahin and he is sick.... he must be bought now! otherwise he'll be snapped up by other clubs!!!!! everyone knows that ALMOST every player Arsene's interested is good!! so at least one club is bound to know that he's good, and cash in! c'mon AW!!! You Da Man/!!
