Nigerian-born Arsenal midfielder, Chuks Aneke may not play a
competitive game for the Gunners in the 2013/14 season as the club look
to loan him to a side where he is likely to get regular playing time.
Aneke spent two seasons with League One (English third tier) club,
Crewe Alexandra last season, and they have been in talks to get him
back.
The midfielder scored eight goals in 38 appearances during two productive loan spells at the League One outfit last campaign.
Now Crewe boss, Steve Davis has told the BBC that he is keen to bring the 20-year-old back to the Alexandra stadium.
"I've had dialogue with Chuks, he's been in Asia. So we'll just check out that position there," David told BBC Radio Stoke.
"He did terrific for us last season. I think initially people
didn't see his quality, but over time he came to fruition and his
fitness was much better.
"The quality, creativity and goalscoring ability he's got was
apparent to everybody. He's the creative player that (former captain
Luke) Murphy was and we could do with that type."
Aneke, who has been likened to the Manchester City midfielder,
Yaya Toure by Arsene Wenger is seemingly favourably disposed to the move
to Crewe.
The starlet, who has represented England at under-19 level, said he
has been trying to win the trust of Wenger but would not hesitate to
move to Crewe if it would guarantee him having more minutes under his
belt.
"I just want to impress the boss and try and get an opportunity. If
that's not achievable then I want to play some games. I played a lot of
games when I was at Crewe last season,” he was quoted saying by
authoritative British newspaper, Mirror.
"Arsenal is a very fantastic team and if it is not possible to break
into the team then maybe I can go on loan somewhere. I was on loan last
season so I didn't train with the Arsenal first-team until pretty much
the end of it.
"I'm looking forward to training with the first-team again. I've
done that quite a bit already. It's nice to come out of London to see
the other the side of the world. I've not had much opportunity to come
to places like this.
"My main objective as a young player is to play games and impress
the manager. I want to come over here and show the boss what I can do
and hopefully get some game time," he said.
