Rovers sign Gunners starlet, while Brighton eye youngster stay
February 28, 2010
Championship side Doncaster Rovers have signed Arsenal youngster Jay Emmanuel-Thomas on loan. The highly rated midfielder has already spent a successful loan spell at Rovers Championship rivals Blackpool earlier this season.
The 19 year-old is delighted to get a chance for regular first team football again. He told Doncaster’s official website: “A few days ago, the two clubs started talking and Arsenal spoke to me. My agent then spoke to Doncaster Rovers and it all went from there,”
The youngster is versatile having played at left-back, as a striker and also as a winger during his short career. He has also shown good leadership skills by captaining Arsenal’s under-18 at the age of just 16. He has yet to appear for the Gunners first team but is rated highly at the Emirates.
League One side Brighton are hoping to extend the stay of Newcastle winger Kazenga LuaLua. The youngster has impressed in his one-month loan spell. He has made three appearances for the Seagulls in that spell and Brighton boss Gus Poyet is hoping to extend his loan deal.
Poyet told the Argus:”It is something that is not only in our hands, it depends most on Newcastle. We have been in touch with them already.”
