Nigerian-born Arsenal starlet, Chuks Aneke has joined English Championship side, Crewe Alexandra on a season-long loan.
.
The 20-year-old, who spent the majority of last season on loan at the club, is moving as he may likely find it difficult to break into the Arsenal first- team in the 2013/14 season.
.
Aneke, a powerful midfielder and a graduate of the club's Hale End Academy, has found first-team opportunities difficult to come by at Arsenal and spent much of the recent Asia Tour operating in the unfamiliar position of centre-back.
.
He has now returned to Crewe with a flourish, however, and scored as they progressed to the second round of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night.
.
Crewe manager, Steve Davis has nothing but praise for the youngster.
.
"He did terrific for us last season. I think initially people didn't see his quality, but over time he came to fruition and his fitness was much better.
.
"The quality, creativity and goalscoring ability he's got was apparent to everybody. He's the creative player that (former captain Luke) Murphy was and we could do with that type," Davis told BBC Radio Stoke.
.
All of the indications suggest that, with Aneke's contract due to expire at the end of the season, this loan move could be the precursor to a permanent departure to the Alexandra Stadium.
.
Aneke, who has been capped severally by England at junior level, is eligible to represent Nigeria at senior international level.
Well it's not really about football clubs yet...It's all about how much you can play individually...Kudos to Aneke!
