Arsenal are willing to send away as many as TWELVE youngsters on-loan this month.

Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe are receiving the most admiring glances as Mikel Arteta looks to narrow down his squad.

The Athletic reports Nketiah, who left Leeds after just two league starts in five months, is said to be deciding between Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest for his next excursion.

Brentford were also reportedly interested but have fallen out of the running after being unable to guarantee a regular starting spot for the 20-year-old striker.

Meanwhile a number of clubs are making presentations to Arsenal about what they can offer attacking midfielder Smith Rowe. Huddersfield are the side most prominently linked with the 19-year-old so far.

An additional ten players are reportedly listed to leave on loan or permanent deals this month.
