Alex Runarsson – Playing at Alanyaspor in Denmark – 10 appoearances
Cedric Soares – Playing at Fulham – 1 appearance
Nuno Tavares – Playing at Marseille in France – 20 appearances and 6 goals
Pablo Mari – Playing at Monza in Italy – 16 appearances and 1 goal
Ainsley Maitland-Niles – Playing at Southampton – 16 appearances
Albert Sambi Lokonga – Playing at Crystal Palace – 3 appearances
Nicolas Pepe – Playing at Nice in France – 16 appearances and 6 goals

Cheers.

Manchester City has lost five matches in a row in all competitions while being outscored 4 to 14. City will play Liverpool at Anfield on December 1st.
Nov 30 – West Ham United (A)
Ethan Nwaneri scored his first senior team goal for Arsenal v Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
I know he isn’t going to get a game at the Emirate’s but honestly I don’t understand why can’t be brought back to Emirates. Why can’t he be chosen before Eddie? He [Eddie] isn’t scoring. Gabriel is still injured. I really don’t get it. Why pay for another striker, when we’ve one already banging the goals in across the pond.
To be fair Tavares and Pepe have also scored 6 each in the french farmers league. Edu and Arteta will have some big decisions for who makes the cut for the first team squad for next season. Once the loanees return and the lads born in 2001 become senior players this will be the 44 players they have to choose from and that is without any further signings
