Arsenal youngster Zelalem on verge of VVV-Venlo loan

Arsenal's Gedion Zelalem is set to join Dutch club VVV-Venlo on loan.

According to De Telegraaf, the 19-year-old midfielder will spend the remainder of the season with the Eerste Divisie (second division) club.

Zelalem has also been linked with German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund of late but it appears as though he will go to Holland in search of regular minutes on the pitch.

The German-born USA U23 international is seen as a future squad member at Arsenal but his progress has stagnated and he is yet to be offered a new contract on the current deal that expires at the end of the campaign.

The loan to VVV could be the perfect chance to prove to Arsene Wenger that he indeed has a future at the Emirates.
