In a recent tweet, journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal youngster Charles Sagoe Jr. has completed a loan move to Swansea City. It has been confirmed that the English winger have joined the Swans on loan until the end of this campaign.
Sagoe Jr. came through the youth ranks of Fulham before joining Arsenal’s youth set-up in 2015. The 19-year-old has worked his way up the youth teams of the North London club and has even managed to earn a senior appearance for them in the EFL Cup recently.
The English wide player has caught the eye with his performances in the youth levels of English football but is still quite raw and would need time to develop his game and become a regular starter in top-flight football.
Sagoe Jr. might still have a bright future at Arsenal if he can impress during his loan spell at Swansea City this season.

Sagoe Jr. is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself and can cause some headaches for his marker out in the wide areas. He is a decent dribbler with the ball and can create the odd chance for others around him on the offensive end of the field.
The English prospect is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also function as a right-winger or play in the number ten position if told to do so. However, at 19, he needs to earn more playing time in senior football if he wants to mature as a footballer.
Still, there is no denying that Sagoe Jr. has the potential to become a future star in English football. Hence, his loan move to Swansea City seems like a good move for both the player as well as Arsenal.
