Arsenal to send Ethan Nwaneri out on loan?

Arsenal are open to the prospect of loaning out Ethan Nwaneri when the transfer window reopens in January, according to The Daily Mail.

The Gunners graduate signed a new long-term contract earlier this summer, but he has since been a regular on the bench under manager Mikel Arteta.

Despite the long list of forward injuries, Arteta has continued to ignore Nwaneri. He was an unused substitute against Sunderland this month.

The Daily Mail now report that the Gunners could open the door for a loan spell for Nwaneri as he requires minutes to speed up his development.

Nwaneri has been a regular in the matchday squads, but his situation could be completely different in the coming weeks with several stars set to return.

Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus could be fit before the turn of the year.

Hence, Nwaneri may struggle to make the bench itself. He could be handed a temporary stint elsewhere in order to continue his early career growth.
