Mikel Arteta 'to allow Marquinhos to leave on loan in January if the club are able to sign another winger' despite the Arsenal starlet scoring against FC Zurich on his senior debut for the club

Arsenal are considering allowing summer signing Marquinhos to leave the club on loan in January.

The 19-year-old made the move to north London this summer, but Mikel Arteta is said to be interested in allowing him to leave on loan if the club can secure another winger in the January window.

According to a report from the Sun, the initial plan had been to immediately loan out the prodigy after his £3million move from Sao Paulo, but the Arsenal boss instead elected to keep Marquinhos with the squad after he impressed in preseason.
