Premier League clubs considering loan move for Arsenal youngster
Reports have suggested that a number of Premier League clubs are eager to sign Arsenal’s promising youngster Chucks Aneke on loan.
Aneke is only 18-years-old and is on the fringes of Arsenal’s first-team following impressive performances with their youth team, resulting in him moving up the ranks at the Emirates Stadium.
The dominative midfielder featured in the Carling Cup earlier this season and Gunners’ boss Arsene Wenger is expecting big things from Aneke in the future, who is also an England youth international.
Meanwhile, Wenger compared Aneke to Manchester City and Ivory Coast star Yaya Toure.
“Chuks is a bit like Yaya Toure – he has body power and good technique,” Wenger told Arsenal’s official website.
“We had Yaya here [on trial] and for me Chuks is a bit similar because he can play behind the striker or in a deeper role as well.” Wenger added.
“We will have to see where he will develop, it is not excluded that in the future he will play deeper in midfield.”
It is believed that Wolves, West Brom and Wigan are all following Aneke, and Wenger is desperate for the starlet to pick up some first-team experiences, especially at Premier League leve.
Wenger is also considering allowing Aneke to move to a Championship club on a short-term basis before January before securing a loan move to a Premier League club.
