Arsenal to 'block' move for out-of-favour player but youngster 'could leave' club

The January transfer window is now less than two weeks away and Arsenal, like all the other clubs in England and beyond, are looking to finalise their priorities ahead of a busy month of deals. Today, we'll be looking at stories surrounding a pair of potential outgoings.

Arsenal are set to block any transfer moves made for one of their fringe players. There have been rumours that he could leave, but it looks unlikely at this stage - meanwhile, the Gunners may also ship one of their brightest youngsters out on loan.

Arsenal to block transfer away for Aaron Ramsdale

Aaron Ramsdale is currently playing deputy to David Raya for Arsenal. This had led to several audiences calling for him to push for a move away from the club - but the Gunners are set to block any moves away for the player, according to a report from Football Insider.

Chelsea have recently withdrawn their interest the 25-year-old also. While Ramsdale is being encouraged to depart the club, it currently seems highly unlikely that he will make a move elsewhere during the January transfer window.

Charles Sagoe Jr could leave Arsenal on loan in January

Charles Sagoe Jr is one of the brightest prospects in Arsenal's academy right now. He has yet to make his debut in senior team league football, but this could soon change - clubs such as Millwall, Barnsley, Charlton and Reading are all thought to be interested in bring him in on loan, says TEAMtalk.

Sagoe Jr has played for Arsenal in the EFL Cup, but he has not played for the first team in the Premier League as of yet. Moving to a Championship or League One club could be a make or break move for the 19-year-old - however, it will also be an excellent way for him to gain experience.
