Tyreece John-Jules could yet return to Arsenal this season and play, according to Football London.

John-Jules has been sent out on loan from Arsenal to Lincoln City this season, but it seems that the League One side will opt to terminate his deal, even if the season does continue.

At the moment it is not clear whether the third tier will play again this term, but with Lincoln safe from relegation, they have apparently decided to cut costs, which means John-Jules looks set to spend the rest of the campaign at Arsenal.

It is now believed that he could play for Mikel Arteta’s first-team, if he impresses the Arsenal boss enough.

Arteta has already shown a willingness to play his side’s best young talents, and John-Jules certainly fits into the category.

The 19-year-old has impressed on loan at Lincoln, even if he hasn’t quite been able to score with too much frequency.

The Arsenal prospect has notched two goals in eight appearances for the Imps.

If John-Jules is to force his way into Arsenal’s team he will have to find a way to move ahead of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah in Arteta’s pecking order.
