Shrewsbury confirm premature end of Sagoe Jr's loan

Yesterday at 07:22 AM

Shrewsbury Town have confirmed that Charles Sagoe Jr has been recalled from his loan by Arsenal.

The 20-year-old winger returns to London after making 18 appearances for The Shrews, including 13 in League One.

While the recall might seem early, it's not uncommon for Arsenal to reassess loan spells at the halfway point of the season, possibly with the intention of finding a new loan opportunity or bringing players back to bolster the squad.

In Sagoe Jr’s case, the recall could be related to Arsenal's current injury concerns. With Bukayo Saka sidelined for a couple of months, Raheem Sterling recovering from a knee injury, and Ethan Nwaneri picking up a muscular problem during the weekend’s match against Brighton, the youngster, who made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup last season, may be needed to provide additional cover.

Ismael Kabia, 19, was on the bench on Saturday, indicating the need for reinforcements. Arsenal face a busy schedule with seven more matches to navigate in January.
