Jay Simpson is looking to his loan spell with West Brom to give him the experience to make an impact when he returns to Arsenal. The 20-year-old told the Daily Mirror: "I want to help keep Albion up and then go back to Arsenal.

"I think it is about time the English players came through and I think the Arsenal fans want it as well.

"There are a lot of talented English youngsters at Arsenal and if you are good enough you are going to play.

"Hopefully we can make the grade and for me personally it has gone really well at West Brom. I believe I can contribute a lot to keep us up and I am enjoying it.

"I think at Arsenal in a way you are pampered but when you go out on loan it is the real world. My loan spell last year helped me grow up into a man."
