Good example of one of the points of this thread.
Yet another incredibly talented lad who failed to cross the divide.
I seem to remember him being "the main man" with everything but pace.
Lack of pace hasn't stopped Wilshere so the reason is ...?
Aneke is a good bit slower than Jack, who although not pacy, still has the agility and power to drive past players. Chuks is a big unit whose size prevents him from playing in a quick tiki-taka manner. He's not noted for his defensive prowess so he's fairly limited positionally, and even from his highlights on Youtube, his technique doesn't seem extraordinary enough to make up for his other deficiencies.
Still think he can make a good Championship/lower Prem career, just probably not at Arsenal. He's done well at a young age at the League One level, hopefully he can test his talents in the Championship sooner rather than later.
