The Frenchman ensured that players like Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere, Alex Iwobi and Maitland-Niles all progressed into his first-team squad before he was shown the exit door.
Despite Wenger's departure, the Gunners Academy didn't stop producing skillful players and Folarin Balogun could be the next star to come out of the Hale End Academy.
Balogun is one of the highly rated set of players tipped to break into the Gunners main squad next season due to his ability to score plenty goals from any attacking position.
Considering his meteoric rise, it is save to suggest that the player could be part of Unai Emery's plan for next season.
He has a very high chance of being included in the Gunners pre-season tour later in the year and will hope to impress the Spanish tactician.
Balogun has featured for England's U17 and U18 team but he's still eligible to play for either Nigeria or USA at the senior level.
