Arsenal are set to complete their first piece of deadline day business with youth talent Nikolaj Moller heading out on loan to join Dutch side FC Den Bosch.
According to Football London, the Hale End prospect will be sent out on his second loan spell of the season after a disappointing term with German club FC Viktoria Koln, where Moller played 13 matches and scored three goals.
Moller is regarded as one of the most exciting talents coming through at Arsenal and one of three youth strikers who could one day feature for the first-team, alongside Folarin Balogun and Mika Biereth.
The Swede’s loan move to the Netherlands could be the first of many deadline day moves for Arsenal. The Gunners are keen on signing a striker and a central midfielder, with Mikel Arteta running out of time to complete these transfers.
As well as incomings, there is a good chance that more academy players will leave Hale End in the coming hours on loan. With Arsenal’s U-23s flying high in Premier League 2, it could be the perfect time for some names to depart the club for senior football.
And for Moller, that is exactly what Arsenal have arranged for the Swedish striker. Whilst his spell in Germany didn’t work out, a move to the Netherlands could be ideal for the attacker in the second half of the season.
Arsenal are making the right decision loaning out Moller again
There’s no denying that the Swedish youngster has the potential to star at first-team level for Arsenal. At 6’4”, Moller is a giant of a striker who is still lacking the technical qualities to thrive in the senior game.
However, a loan move to the Netherlands could be perfect for the attacker. The Dutch second-tier has been a perfect breeding ground for young players in recent years, and for Moller, the forward could blossom if everything goes to plan in Holland.
