Emi Martinez

Takuma Asano largely endured an afternoon to forget, while Lucas Perez became the second Arsenal loanee to reach 1,000 minutes of playing time this season.

Lucas Perez was in action for Deportivo and got on the scoresheet. Stephy Mavididi was given a rare start and Takuma Asano also featured. The rest were on the bench or left out entirely.

It was a quiet couple of days for the Arsenal loanees this weekend, as many clubs took time off for the international break.

Arsenal’s loanees aren’t playing and they aren’t developing.

Emi Martinez has played just once for Getafe this season, having joined the La Liga side on loan in the summer. Things haven’t gone to plan.

Just three of Arsenal’s nine loanees were involved over the weekend, as many continue to struggle with game-time or injuries. None of them were on the winning side either.

Arsenal’s loanees continued to struggle in the latest round of games around Europe.

Arsenal’s loanees had one of their busiest weeks of the season so far, with the highlights being Lucas Perez getting among the goals and Emi Martinez finally getting a start.

Arsenal have conceded the most Premier League penalties since the beginning of the 2016/17 season after Troy Deeney’s spot-kick for Watford found the back of the net, but why?

Three Arsenal loanees played a part in Saturday’s matches, of the six players available for selection.

Marc Bola was the only Arsenal loanee to appear on Tuesday, making his third consecutive start for Bristol Rovers.

Marc Bola’s loan to Bristol Rovers continues to look like a good one as he gets a run of games, but Arsenal’s other loanees weren’t so lucky on Saturday.

Marc Bola was a standout performer against Blackpool, Lucas Perez featured against Espanyol and Nwakali, Mavididi and Asano made substitute appearances for their loan sides.

Marc Bola, Takuma Asano, Kelechi Nwakali and Lucas Perez all featured for their clubs last weekend. 

The season is starting to pick up some speed for Arsenal’s loanees now the transfer window is closed, and Saturday brought another round of fixtures for many of their sides.

Arsenal’s Kelechi Nwakali scored for VVV-Venlo, while Lucas Perez returned for his former club and Takuma Asano also featured.

It was a quiet day for Arsenal’s loanees with only one featuring for his temporary club.

Arsenal loanees Cohen Bramall and Marc Bola featured in this week’s Carabao Cup games.
