The 20-year-old midfielder was in terrific form for Crewe in previous two loan spells. Club president Steve Davis is reportedly a fan of the Arsenal man&rsquo;s abilities on the pitch.<br />

"The quality, creativity and goalscoring ability he's got was apparent to everybody. He's the creative player that [former captain Luke] Murphy was and we could do with that type." said Davis earlier this week.<br />

The former Under-19 England international has netted 8 goals in 38 appearances for the League One side. Davis expressed his happiness with the new loan deal:<br />

"We know the talent he has and he will be a good addition to the squad&rdquo;<br />

"I initially saw the ability he had and asked the supporters to have patience with him. They did that and in the end we saw what a huge talent he is."<br />

The president also confirmed the name of midfielder Abdul Osman as the new club captain, who faced competition from Adam Dugdale and Harry Davis.
