A busy week for the Gunners as League action is back, and players return from their sunny mid-season camps.
Read Foxy's weekly round-up of Arsenal's loanees.
Monday:
Arthur Okonkwo was nominated for League Two’s November POTM, EFL said “Clean sheets and Arthur Okonkwo’s agility have been key to Crewe Alexandra's recent revival. The 21-year-old Arsenal loanee produced a series of superb reaction saves in the win over Colchester United and another vital stop as Alex won away at Swindon Town.”
Tuesday:
Ovie Ejeheri played 90 minutes in Chelmsford City’s 2-1 loss to Dulwich Hamlet. Meanwhile, Spanish magazine ‘Soy Fiera’ released an article investigating Marcelo Flores’ possible move to Mexican side Club León, a translation can be found on my Twitter @arsenal_loans. Staying in Spain, Nuno Tavares trained with Marseille in their camp in Marbella.
