Nottingham Forest should try to sign the Arsenal whizkid.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal starlet Dan Crowley could be made available for loan again next season.

And Nottingham Forest boss Mark Warburton should snap him up.

The Nottingham Forest manager appears to have a good relationship with the Premier League giants, having previously signed a number of their players.

The 54-year-old brought Nico Yennaris to Brentford during his spell with the Bees, before signing Gedion Zelalem and Jon Toral during his 18-month stint at Rangers.

Crowley is one of Arsenal’s most talented young players and has precious little to lose in trying to bring him to the City Ground.

In 2015, manager Lee Johnson, who had him at Barnsley, told The Mail: “He’s probably one of the best, or the best, or most talented 18-year-olds I’ve ever seen.”

But is that potential fading slightly?

The 19-year-old spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan with League One Oxford United, netting twice in two league starts, before joining Dutch outfit Go Ahead Eagles in January and scoring twice in 16 Eredivisie outings.

Neither loan spell was a roaring success, but at his age, there is still plenty of time for Crowley to salvage what could still be a huge career – and the Nottingham Forest boss can give him a push-start that he needs.
