Mikel Arteta is trying to find his best eleven to try and contest for the Premier League title once again. It has not been an easy season for the Gunners, but they remain third in the English top flight. The North London outfit are also an outsider favourite to win the Champions League. Their late-season push will continue without a talented youngster who has not made a push for minutes this term.
Charles Sagoe Jr. Loaned to Swansea City
Watch: The Premier League BIG SIX are in EVEN BIGGER DANGER – Here’s Why
Deadline Day Deal
Swansea City have officially announced the arrival of teenager Charles Sagoe Jr. A 19-year-old forward eligible for both England and Ghana’s youth teams, the youngster departs for Wales in an effort to secure more playing time.
Sagoe Jr. has spent the past three seasons with Arsenal’s reserve side. This campaign, though, he was called up by Arteta and made his professional debut in an EFL Cup match against Brentford. Unable to gain consistent minutes, he heads abroad to convince the Spanish manager he is worthy of more time on the pitch.
How Sagoe Jr. Can Help Swansea
The Swans are in desperate need of a change in form. Sitting 17th in the Championship, not too far away from relegation, the Welsh outfit have conceded the third-most goals this campaign. Sagoe Jr.’s addition is aimed at helping overcome their backline woes by overpowering their opposition with aggressive attacking play.

The attacker’s time at Swansea will be short. He will return to his parent team this summer. If he highlights his skills in the Championship, he could be included in Arsenal’s senior squad for next season. The “wonderkid” has much to prove to live up to his potential.
