The best Arsenal players? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stars

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'players?' is the definition.
(star is a kind of player)

'the best arsenal' is the wordplay.
'STARS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stars that I've seen before include "Heavenly bodies" , "Leading actors" , "plays a leading role" , "Celestial bodies of hot gases" , "''What is the ...? What is the ...? '' (Juno and the Paycock)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
