Arsenal winger Charles Sagoe Jr returns from loan spell
Arsenal academy winger Charles Sagoe Jr has returned to the club following his loan spell at Shrewsbury Town.

With Arsenal’s struggles for depth in the forward ranks, it could see Sagoe Jr pushed forward to the senior side soon.
The winger would, however, be ineligible for another loan if he does make an appearance for the Gunners this month.
