Arsenal defender Daniel Ballard has extended his loan with Blackpool to the end of the season.

The centre-back has impressed when fit for the League One side, making eight appearances, and will now gain further experience prior to returning to Arsenal next summer.

Ballard had a loan spell at Swindon Town ended early due to injury last season.

Meanwhile, Tolaji Bola has returned to Arsenal following the conclusion of his loan spell at Rochdale.

Bola featured eleven times after joining the League One side in October.
