Transfer: Another Arsenal star leaves Emirates

Another Arsenal star, Ovie Ejeheri, has left the club to join National League South side, Chelmsford City on a short-term loan deal until January.

It was reported that this is coming less than two days after Zak Swanson left Arsenal to join Portsmouth on a permanent move.

Arsenal disclosed this in a statement via its website on Wednesday.

The statement read in part, “Ovie Ejeheri has joined National League South side, Chelmsford City on a short-term loan deal until January.

“The 19-year-old goalkeeper joined our academy aged eight. Ovie has continually developed through the age groups and featured numerous times last season in both the PL2 and Papa John’s Trophy.

“We wish Ovie all the best for his loan spell at Chelmsford City and we look forward to seeing his continued development.”
