Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger thinks that his young players are good enough to make the step up to the Premier League this season.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that he believes in his current crop of young talent to make a breakthrough this season.

The Frenchman is currently casting a keen eye over a batch of prospects on the club's tour of Asia and thinks that a number of players will get a chance this season.

"We have some young players who are already experienced, for example if I tell you Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, you will tell me he is not young but he is 18 years old," Wenger told a press conference in Hong Kong.

"Jack Wilshere is 20, Aaron Ramsey is 21 and we have some more young players who might push up this season.

"On tour we have Chuks Aneke who has shown quality and of course Ryo. We also have younger players who are 16 or 17, who are not with us on tour, who will certainly appear this season. We are faithful to what we want to do whicih is to promote young players and give them a chance at that level."

Arsenal complete their tour of the far east with a match against Kitchee FC in Hong Kong on Sunday.
