Arsenal are reportedly set to loan out talented young goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo to League Two side Crewe Alexandra.
The 20-year-old England youth international is highly regarded at the Emirates Stadium and is being tipped for a big future with the Gunners, according to Fabrizio Romano, who has tweeted about the move.

Arsenal fans will no doubt be hoping that Okonkwo can have a good experience whilst out on loan, and return to the club a better player.
The north London giants have done well to promote players from their academy in recent times, with Bukayo Saka undoubtedly the stand-out success story in that department, while Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have also made an impact in the senior side.
Arsenal currently have Aaron Ramsdale as their established number one, but Okonkwo surely has the potential to challenge him in a few years’ time.
