Arsenal look set to send one of their promising young defenders out on loan ahead of next season. Under-23 prospect Omar Rekik has been linked with a loan move away from the club and a deal now seems to be imminent.
According to Tunisian journalist Walid El Mechri, Rekik will leave Arsenal on loan next season, with the defender having to finalise a deal in the coming days. El Mechri goes on to say that Rekik wants to start summer preparation with his new club to play as many matches as possible in order to secure a place with the Tunisian national team ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to Ligue 1. Arsenal have had success sending their young defenders to this league on a loan move as William Saliba thrived during the last campaign following his year-long move to Marseille.
