Five Arsenal players who need to be loaned out next season

Emmanuel Frimpong (21) – Defensive Midfielder

Scout Report:

Frimpong is one thing for definite: powerful. The Ghanaian has represented England at youth level but has since made his international debut for Ghana. His natural strength has been combined with footballing skill since his entrance into the Arsenal academy, aged nine. He’s been unfortunate with an injury-plagued career, but claims that he is on his way to being fitter than ever. A huge character both on and off the pitch.

So why does he need a loan? ‘

Frimmy’ is known by many for his clothing brand, ‘Dench’, more than for his footballing ability. He is undoubtedly Premiership quality and loves Arsenal, so desperately needs to prove himself. He has already been on a couple of loan spells (Wolves and Fulham most notably), but injuries have restricted game time. This season could be his time to finally get to the standard his potential suggests.

Where should he go?

He has to stay in England. His reputation goes before him as a tough tackler, and in defensive midfield reputation alone can really help. If he wants to challenge himself, Norwich could be a great place for him, helping them to add a bit of bite to a rather technical midfield. If not, Bolton’s strength-based game could suit him at the top of the Championship.
