According to West London Sport, Arsenal teenager Luke Plange has joined Queens Park Rangers on trial.

It’s claimed that Plange is expected to be released at the end of the season, and QPR have now swooped in to take a look at him.

Plange played for QPR’s Under-18’s against Swansea City on Saturday afternoon, but they lost 3-1.

The 18-year-old has actually been in decent form for Arsenal’s Under-18’s this season, bagging four goals in just nine outings.

He hasn’t been in the squad for four straight games though, and the writing is seemingly on the wall for the young striker.

Plange has come up through the Arsenal youth setup, and offers attacking versatility given that he can play up front or on the left flank.

QPR had success with one ex-Arsenal talent in Eberechi Eze, so who knows – maybe Plange can follow suit.

First, he has to win a deal with the R’s, but there appears to be more chance of that happening than staying with Arsenal.
