Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Dan Crowley's loan move to Oxford United will be good for his development.

The midfielder will spend the upcoming season at the Us following their promotion to League One, having impressed during a three-month loan spell at Barnsley last year.

"He is a player who has a huge talent," Wenger told Arsenal Player. “He's very creative and he's very good in the final third. He's a special talent as well, he can finish and he can do the final ball.

“What he needs is to develop physically a little bit and already I think he has made a big strides forward there and also cope with the responsibility of being the playmaker.

“In the Premier League today, maybe it is a bit early for him but to carry that long process through, it'll be interesting for him."
