Arsène Wenger admitted he expects Arsenal to be busy with loans this January. But which players could the Gunners give temporary moves away to?

Arsene Wenger has defended Arsenal’s record for playing academy graduates, and says he wants to keep giving young players a chance.

Arsenal’s young Gunners delivered impressive showings in the Carabao Cup, helping the team progress to the semi-finals and to the cusp of some silverware.

Arsenal included seven academy players in first-team training on Monday, ahead of the Gunners’ League Cup quarter-final against West Ham United.

Tottenham were well beaten by Manchester City on Saturday, much to the joy of Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson who took it upon himself to troll the London club on social media.

Reiss Nelson celebrated his 18th birthday on Sunday and took the opportunity to post a video on social media thanking everyone for their support over the last year.

Arsenal’s u23s face Manchester City at the City Football Academy on Sunday, in the next match of their Premier League 2 season.

Arsenal are likely to rotate heavily for their match against BATE Borisov on Thursday, with Southampton to come at the weekend. Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott will start.

Forget Wilfried Zaha, Reiss Nelson is the man Arsenal need to replace Theo Walcott when the forward inevitably leaves north London in January.

Hector Bellerin has been impressed by Reiss Nelson’s transition from attacker to wing back.
