Derby County Join Queens Park Rangers In Race For Arsenal's Nigerian Winger

Young Nigerian winger Aaron Eyoma is being linked with a departure from Premier League side Arsenal ahead of the reopening of the transfer window.

The 20-year-old is presently undergoing trial at Championship outfit Derby County with a view to a transfer this summer.

Aaron Eyoma was named in the starting line-up on Saturday, April 7th as The Rams U23 team were beaten 4-2 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League 2 Division 1, his sibling Timothy Eyoma started for the London team.

The Hale End Academy product gave a good account of himself at Hotspur Way Training Centre, setting up the second goal scored by Derby County and they were trailing by one goal when he subbed out in the 84th minute.

The fact that the Gunners have permitted Aaron Eyoma to train with Derby County suggests that he's preparing to bid farewell to the club at the end of the 2017-2018 season.

Two months ago, he trained with Queens Park Rangers but there's not a word yet if he'll be offered a contract.

This season, he has recorded six appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League 2.
