Aaron Eyoma’s hopes of making the breakthrough at Arsenal may be all but over, but the versatile youngster could be presented with an opportunity by Queens Park Rangers.

Eyoma, who usually plays as a winger but can also be deployed in defence or up front, is currently on trial at QPR and featured for the club’s U23 side in a friendly against Colchester United yesterday, as reported by West London Sport.

The 20-year-old will hope that he has impressed QPR sufficiently to earn either a loan or permanent move, and he is definitely an option worth pursuing for the Championship team.

Eyoma is a very skilful player, while his pace and directness make him a major attacking threat.

In addition, the youngster has also become more dependable defensively in recent years, while he is also rather strong physically.

If QPR were to offer Eyoma a contract then it could well prove to be a beneficial move as he could hopefully showcase his credentials at U23 level before potentially stepping up to feature for the first-team.

Eyoma has been on the periphery of proceedings for Arsenal at U23 level this season, but QPR should certainly consider offering the prospect a deal.
