Former Arsenal and Leicester stars set to sign for Dutch side FC Den Bosch

FC Den Bosch are set to sign former Arsenal midfielder Gedion Zelalem and ex-Leicester defender Dennis Gyamfi, LondonWorld understands.

The Dutch second division side have already raided Premier League side Fulham for highly-rated 19 year old centre back Iban Bowat, while Lithuanian international Tomas Kalinauskas put pen to paper at the beginning of January.

Former Arsenal head of emerging talent Yousuf Sajjad recently took up the post of technical director at Den Bosch and his vast knowledge of the English market has already left a positive impact in the Netherlands.

Zelalem, 26, has been without a club since leaving New York City FC last year and has been training with Den Bosch over the past couple of weeks where he’s impressed.

Ex-Gunners midfielder Zelalem was once earmarked as a potential replacement for Cesc Fabregas during his early years at Arsenal and was fastracked into the Under-21s from the Under-16s before being included in the senior squad’s Asia tour in July 2013.

In addition to Zelalem, the signing of former Leicester academy player Gymafi will be finalised on Tuesday.

The right back has appeared for Dinamo Zagreb in the past with both additions seen as being able to make an immediate impact for the Eerste Divisie side.

Den Bosch’s multi-club model is part of a group which includes teams across Europe including Belgium, France, Denmark and Germany.
