20-year-old winger Joel Ideho is in Heerenveen for a trial, after being released by Arsenal at the end of June.

Voetbal International report that Joel Ideho travelled to Heerenveen on Sunday for a trial with the Dutch club, with the winger able to complete a move as a free agent.

Ideho was among Arsenal’s list of released players in June, after three years with the club, and he’d also been linked with Burnley earlier in the summer.

Burnley had planned to integrate Ideho into their u21 side, and they were hoping to have him join the club in time for pre-season.

But a return to the Netherlands now appears the more likely option for the Dutch youngster.

Ideho scored six goals for the Arsenal u21s in all competitions in 2022/23, but his season came to an early end after an injury problem.

The 19-year-old winger sustained an ankle injury in training back in March, before returning to training in April.

The youngster was then invited to a training camp with the Nigeria u20s as they stepped up their preparation for the summer World Cup.

But after joining up with the Nigeria side, he was forced to pull out of the squad in early May with the same ankle problem.

That effectively ended Ideho’s season, as Arsenal played their final game of the u21 campaign the following day, and he wasn’t in contention for first-team starts.

Ideho had made himself a starter leading up to his injury, making the u21 lineup in five consecutive fixtures in all competitions – his longest run in the team all season. He’s now set to continue his career elsewhere.
