Arsenal Loan Watch Archives: 08/2016

Jack Wilshere has ended a day of speculation which saw him wanted across Europe by signing for Bournemouth.

Arsenal loanees, Wojciech Szczesny and Joel Campbell both featured for their temporary clubs on Sunday.

Three Arsenal loanees were (not) in action this weekend, here is a roundup of what happened.

Joel Campbell will wear the number 7 shirt at Sporting, a move that has left some Sporting fans worried that he will be affected by the curse which seems to follow the shirt.

Dan Crowley got himself on the scoresheet for Oxford United but his superb goal was merely a consolation as the U’s lost 4-2 at home to Brighton.

There will be no Champions League for Wojciech Szczesny this season (or Thomas Vermaelen) as Roma were dumped out of qualifying by Porto, who thumped them in Rome.

Joel Campbell has admitted that he joined Sporting to become a ‘champion.’

Jon Toral played 73 minutes of Granada’s 1-1 draw with Villarreal on Saturday evening as La Liga got underway.

Dan Crowley played nine minutes for Oxford United as they grabbed all three points thanks to an injury time penalty against Peterborough on Saturday afternoon.

Wojciech Szczesny returned to the Roma starting lineup for their 4-0 win over Udinese in Serie A after missing their Champions League game due to a lack of match fitness.

Surprisingly (to us, at least), Wojciech Szczesny didn’t start during Roma’s Champions League qualifying match against Porto, which his loan team drew 1-1.

FC Utrecht seem set to play Tafari Moore in their youth team despite Arsenal saying the 19-year-old would now ‘test himself in the top tier of Dutch football.’

Arsenal have confirmed that Tafari Moore will spend this season on loan with FC Utrecht, a club he first trained with towards the end of July.

Ryan Huddart did not enjoy the best night between the sticks for Eastleigh as they lost 4-2 at home to Dover as he opened the scoring for the visitors.

Roma have named Wojceich Szczesny in their Champions League squad ahead of their qualifier on Wednesday night against Porto.

Three Arsenal loanees played on Saturday with varying results.

Ryan Huddart and Dan Crowley were benched by Eastleigh and Oxford United on Saturday as both of their loan teams kicked off the National League and League One seasons.

Arsenal youth player, Jon Toral has spoken about his time with Barcelona and the close bond he already shares with Granada teammate, Isaac Cuenca.
