Arsenal Loan Watch Archives: 02/2018

Joel Campbell says he wants to stay at Real Betis permanently, after his loan spell with the club comes to an end, making him the second current Arsenal player to admit he wants out.

Emi Martinez has offered a rather feeble explanation for Arsenal’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Lucas Perez missed a penalty to make it 13 games without a goal and Ben Sheaf returned from injury for his first game with new loan club Stevenage, as nine Arsenal loanees featured over the weekend.

Krystian Bielik has suffered a set back with the defender now ruled out for a few more weeks despite not yet having had the chance to play for his loan side.

Jon Whitney says Krystian Bielik should be available for the club in the next couple of weeks, after suffering a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury.

The Belgian media are currently loving Chuba Akpom while he’s on loan at Sint-Truiden and assistant coach, Chris O’Loughlin, is open to the 22-year-old staying for longer.

Chuba Akpom scored the winner against Anderlecht and Lucas Perez’s goal drought grew longer as Arsenal’s loanees endured a mixed weekend.

Vandals wrote a message in graffiti on Lucas Perez’s wall, except, it turns out the player doesn’t even live there anymore, according to his old neighbour’s amusing response.

On loan forward Stephy Mavididi will be out for eight weeks with a hamstring injury, Charlton have confirmed.

Stephy Mavididi plans to be in the Arsenal first in a year’s time after gaining valuable experience on loan at Charlton Athletic. 

Jeff Reine-Adelaide is looking to improve his end product and tactical understanding during his time at Angers. 

Julio Pleguezuelo and Chuba Akpom made debuts for their new loan clubs over the weekend, as only two loanees played from start to finish.

Walsall manager Jon Whitney praised Krystian Bielik after signing the young Arsenal defender on loan until the end of the season.
