Arsenal are preparing to send Auston Trusty out on a season-long loan to Birmingham City in the hope he will follow a similar pathway to William Saliba.
The Gunners signed Trusty on January transfer deadline day from Colorado Rapids, but the youngster stayed on loan with the MLS side. The 23-year-old has now joined up with Arsenal, but will not be a part of the club’s pre-season tour to the USA.
Instead he is set to join Birmingham on loan to further his development, according to Birmingham Live . Trusty will be playing outside of his native country for the first time, but is very highly-rated from his time in MLS.
