3 More Arsenal Players Who Should Be Loaned Out For 2015/16

3) Krystian Bielik

Having arrived at the Gunners back in January for a reported £2.7million, we’re yet to see much of the Polish youngster.

At just 17 years old, Bielik is one of the youngest players enrolled in the first team squad, and he is yet to experience a taste of senior football under Arsene Wenger.

It seemed the boss brought the Polish international in as cover for when Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini inevitably leave next year, and he can finally make a challenge for a spot.

That may have been the case this season if it wasn’t for the surprise run of performances from Francis Coquelin, who mastered the central defensive role and in the process forced Bielik down to the reserves.

And although he’s enjoyed a nice run of games with the Under-21s, it’s time for the midfielder to get out of the Gunners and experience the Premier League’s finest football.

That type of English football may come as a surprise for Bielik, who took nearly two months to get up to the fitness level required, according to Arsene Wenger.

So where do you put a player like Bielik? Who has never featured in a Premier League squad let alone stepped out on the Emirates pitch for the first team.

For those reasons, it’s no surprise that clubs aren’t queuing up to gain his services for next season, and we could be looking at a newly promoted team as his best suitor he were to go out on loan.

Watford, Bournemouth and Norwich are the names in contention, and out of those three he won’t be short of defensive action as they look to hold their Premier League status.

If for some reason the Polish youth star does stay with the Gunners this summer, he’ll have nearly nine other midfielders to compete with.

Hopefully the youngster can live up to his highly rated potential, and a story similar to the one of Francis Coquelin will be inspiration for the journey of Bielik.
