Arsenal have four members of the first-team squad out on loan at other clubs this season.

We provided our first update in late September about how they were faring at their respective teams, and we will now be assessing how they have got on since then.

Ethan Nwaneri, Charles Sagoe Jr, Ismeal Kabia and Tommy Setford have been getting game time, but some have had more success than others.

Press the next page as we look at the performances of the Gunners’ loan stars…

Charles Sagoe Jr

The 22-year-old has been playing in Sweden for Kalmar FF since February, but his form has trailed off after a good start.

Sagoe Jr scored 4 goals and provided 8 assists in his first 18 league and cup appearances.

However, the winger has not managed a goal contribution in his last 12 games, despite starting week in, week out.

It should be pointed out, though, that Sagoe is playing in a struggling team. Kalmar sit just above the relegation places with 2 games to go this season.

Tommy Setford

The goalkeeper has been ever-present in Stevenage’s goal since making his debut against Barnsley during a 5-1 win at the beginning of September.

Following his first appearance, Setford has played another 8 games in all competitions for the League One side.

The 20-year-old has maintained a decent record, having conceded only eight goals and kept three clean sheets.

Setford’s performances have helped Stevenage steer clear of the relegation zone, while also securing a place in the second round of the FA Cup.

Ismeal Kabia

The Dutchman joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren at the start of the season, and it is fair to say it hasn’t been a particularly happy spell north of the border so far.

Kabia has started 10 games in all competitions, but following our last report in September, he still hasn’t gotten off the mark for either goals or assists.

In the 4 games since the last international break, Kabia played 67 minutes in a 5-0 defeat to Hearts, the full 90 against Aberdeen in a 3-1 loss,  80 minutes versus Dundee in a 2-0 victory and the full 90 against Rangers in a 2-0 home defeat last weekend.

It certainly isn’t helping the winger that St Mirren are struggling. They have won 4 of their 13 games, securing 14 points in total.

Ethan Nwaneri

Arsenal fans would have been hoping for the teenager to make an impact at Borussia Dortmund after his nightmare spell with Marseille in the second half of last season.

However, Nwaneri has yet to light up the Bundesliga. He started the first game after the last international break against Union Berlin, but he was booked and replaced just after the hour mark.

Since then, Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac has only used him as a substitute, even in the German Cup. His minutes are starting to be limited too. He was left on the bench for the 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at the end of last month.

Nwaneri got one solitary minute against Real Betis in the Champions League last week, and just four more against Elversberg during a 2-1 league win on Saturday. There is a recall clause in the loan, which means that if the teenager continues to be used sparingly by Dortmund, then Arsenal can bring him back to the Emirates in January. Of course, the player will be hoping he can turn things around over the next two months. He won’t want to have two failed loan spells on his record.
