Aaron Eyoma could leave Premier League giants Arsenal this summer having spent trial periods at Queens Park Rangers and Derby County.

Arsenal winger Aaron Eyoma has two Championship sides hot on his trail right now.

According to All Nigeria Soccer, the speedy 20-year-old winger is on the radar of both Derby County and Queens Park Rangers with his departure from The Emirates looking likely this summer.

And it will be an interesting battle for Eyoma’s signature, because the youngster, who has progressed through Arsenal’s academy but has not managed to force his way into the first-team picture, has had trials with both Derby and QPR over the last few months.

Eyoma, who can also play at right-back, spent time training with QPR two months ago but is yet to be offered a contract by the Loftus Road club.

And All Nigeria Soccer is reporting that he has since spent time with Derby and impressed during an U23 clash with Tottenham on Saturday, during which brother Timmy (below) played on the opposite side.

Aaron set up one of Derby’s goals in a 4-2 defeat and All Nigeria Soccer believe he could be offered a contract by The Rams should he keep up his form from now until the end of his trial period.

QPR might have a rather substantial advantage, however, in that they would allow Eyoma to continue his footballing education in the capital.
