Arsenal youngster Daniel Crowley has unfortunately suffered another injury, this time to his ankle after appearing for the Gunners under-21’s on Wednesday night against Middlesbrough.

The 16-year-old has been described by several figures in the game as one of the brightest prospects to come through English academies in recent years and has been named ‘the next Jack Wilshere’.

The Arsenal midfielder and England international Wilshere is well aware of the youngster and tweeted him this evening asking about the injury.

He also tweeted last month: “Everybody follow @Danielcrowley24 trust me when I say this kid is a player! Big future….”

His recent performance in the FA Youth Cup against Peterborough has had people talking about the youngster in glowing terms. Arsenal ran out 6-1 winners and Crowley set up four goals and scored two.

Arseblog believes that Arsenal are open to offers for young Japanese winger Ryo Miyaichi.

The 21-year-old has struggled to establish himself in the Gunners first team since joining in 2011 and some suggested it could open the door for Julian Draxler to come in from Schalke.

That seems unlikely on the basis that Miyaichi isn’t a first team player and surely Draxler signing wouldn’t hinge on the wingers future. The German should be signed regardless and that could still be given his latest injury news.

Something that seems certain is that many Arsenal fans are sad to see him go.

Initial fears that Julian Draxler could be out until late March appears to have been allayed this afternoon.

We brought your news this morning of the German wonder kids injury and those first reports that he could be out until March, but Jan Aage Fjortoft has confirmed this isn’t the case.

As soon as the media were reporting that Schalke’s Draxler may be moving to London in January instead of the Summer it has now emerged that he could be out injured up until March.

After rumours that the German 20 year old attacking midfielder could be having his medical this week in London it has been reported that he has now ruptured his tendon and could face a lengthy spell out.

Bacary Sagna is holding up the news of Arsène Wenger and Per Mertesacker extending their stays with Arsenal, after the pair agreed contract extensions.

This is according to various reports in today’s media, Daily Star state that Wenger has agreed to sign a new deal although they don’t disclose the length.

They also believe that Sagna is taking some time to commit himself to the club and that Arsenal aims to reveal to the media that the three important figures have all signed together.
