Arsenal though have not only been impressed with his skills on the training grounds but have also had the player monitored whilst on international duty and feel he is a player that could add to the squad greatly. There has been interested reported to be from Italy for the winger however with Shea currently training with the Emirates side, it puts Arsenal in a good position to be able to land him in January.
