Arsenal boss Wenger: Young players need loan moves

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's keen to see his young players play elsewhere on-loan.

"At the moment we play the young players so quickly in the Reserve team - at 16 or 17 - that at 18 and 19 there is sometimes no challenge for them anymore," the Frenchman told arsenal.com. "But it is still a little bit too early for them to play in the first team at Arsenal. So there is a little gap period for them.

"We always think about how we can use this period for the benefit for the boy and the Club. One of the solutions is to get them into clubs where they can get first-team experience."
