Emmanuel Frimpong not ruling out Arsenal departure

Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has not ruled out a loan move to another club in January.

The 19-year-old, who has been given a limited number of appearances this season, does not expect to get into the team easily due to the Gunners' midfield roster.

"You have to be patient and can't expect to be thrown straight in," he said. "You need to keep learning and hope that, when your chance comes, everything goes well.

"At the moment it's hard for me to get into the team, no doubt about that. When you aren't playing, the obvious choice is to go out for a little while and try to get some game time.

"When January comes we'll see, you never know how things will go, so we'll look at it then."

Ghanaian-born Frimpong joined the Arsenal youth academy when he was nine years old.
