Arsenal to loan Cohen Bramall to Sparta Rotterdam?

Arsenal have reportedly identified Sparta Rotterdam as a potential destination to send Cohen Bramall on loan for the upcoming campaign.

In January, Bramall made the fairytale move from non-league to Premier League as he left Hednesford Town to join the Gunners, and the left wing-back has featured in a number of pre-season friendlies since the middle of July.

However, according to The Mirror, the 21-year-old will be farmed out to the Eredivisie to gain some regular football at a higher level.

A number of Championship clubs are also said to hold an interest in a player who has played no higher than the seventh tier of English football, but it appears that the pacey full-back will be making a short-term switch to the Netherlands.

Last season, Sparta narrowly avoided relegation from the Dutch top flight after finishing in 15th place in the standings.

It has been suggested that Bramall was in contention to act as deputy to Sead Kolasinac, but Wenger has instead opted to keep Nacho Monreal as cover for a number of defensive positions.
