EFL League One club Rochdale have officially announced that promising Nigerian left-back Tolaji Bola has returned to his parent club Arsenal following the conclusion of his loan spell.

The Premier League and third-tier club had agreed previously that the defender would be spending three months at the Dale when he joined the club in October 2020.

Bola appeared in 12 official matches for Rochdale of which ten were starts and he was in action for 855 minutes.

The 22-year-old made his professional debut in a 3-0 loss to Hull City on October 17, before playing his first game in the Emirates FA Cup vs Stockport on November 7, 2020.

He has trained with Arsenal's first team several times and was on the bench when they beat Nottingham Forest in the third round of the Carabao Cup in September 2019.

In his parting words, Bola wished Rochdale all the best for the remainder of the 2020-2021 season and thanked the staff, players and fans.
