39. Henri Lansbury
Free-scoring central midfielder Henri Lansbury is one of the longest-serving players in the Academy. starting out at Hale End aged just 9.
An England Youth international he is the man who often picks the Arsenal Reserves and Under 18s up and drags them on.
His classy style, excellent passing, strong tackling, and goal scoring ability make him perfect for the English style of football.
Rated as one of the best youngsters in the Arsenal system he made the bench for the Carling Cup win over Liverpool in 2007 not long after turning 17.
Arsene Wenger seems also a big fan of the player nicknamed “Harribo” saying recently he would be in the first team for the 2008-09 season.
The future looks very bright for the Enfield born midfielder at England Youth level.

do you think he will make it also i think he is better than merdia from what i have seen what do u think?
[...] Henri Lansbury‘s rehabilitation from Glandular fever is on track, however the England Youth International will not play again this season. [...]
i hope he can take flamini place next season and play along fabregas…i am very sad because flamini went to milan…i think he will be better than flamini…go gunners..
I think he’l be great with cesc.
[...] and England midfielder Henri Lansbury is fit and ready for the coming season, after spending the past two months in intensive training. [...]
hope injuries doesn’t hit him again.
I rate this lad very highly. If he can keep himself clear of injuries, and AW doesn’t sign a defensive midfielder. I think that he may find himself included in a few first team squads.
Personally I think Song may be given the chance to shine as a DM.
This young lad could be a great asset to Arsenal. He should go on loan for 6 months and get some experience. I just hope he will not be sold like David bently. Just ask wenger to go away for a period.
right john,i worry player like lansbury and wilshere will go away like bentley..we already loose good prospect like bentley.
