Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted to the Daily Star that he will consider Krystian Bielik’s future at the end of December.
The youngster is highly rated at the Emirates, with many predicting him to have to have a bright future at the club.
He arrived at the club in January last year as a central midfielder but as been molded into a central defender by Wenger since then, making two appearances for the first team.
He faces a fight to get into the Gunners first team at present, though, with the current first team squad one of the most competitive for a number of years.

And Wenger had admitted he will look at the youngster’s short-term future at the end of December to decide whether he should leave on loan.
“The plan with him is to continue his development. He works with us a lot, with the first team,” he told the Daily Star.
“Now, he is not ready experience wise to play in our team, so hopefully I will consider the situation at the end of December to see if he can go out somewhere or whether we’ll keep him here until the end of the season.”

A loan move would certainly be a wise choice for Bielik if he is to continue his development.
Young footballers often benefit from a period out on loan, especially in the Championship, with that regular first team football better for their development than playing in the youth ranks.
There would likely be a number of suitors for Bielik should he be made available and it remains to be seen if Wenger is willing to let him out.
