4. Kido Taylor-Hart

Age: 18
Position: Winger

One of the players tipped to be on the cusp of being involved in matches like these, Arsenal getting Kido Taylor-Hart tied down to a new contract over the summer was one of the successes of the window.

Supremely technical, his high level of trickery and ball manipulation saw him garner interest from across Europe so securing his signature was hugely pleasing.

Like Hutchinson, Taylor-Hart impressed with the youth ranks enough to be promoted to Under-23 action where’s he picked up where he left off from last season. Two goals and an assist in his last two matches include both strikes in a 2-1 North London Derby win over Tottenham, and fortunately for him, he’s come back from injury at the right time.

Taylor-Hart missed the 3-1 victory over Manchester United but was back on the bench as the Gunners tore Chelsea to shreds, opening the possibility for him to get a spot in the squad on Wednesday.

He certainly has a chance.
