Frimpong joins Charlton Athletic on loan

[Trina]

Emmanuel Frimpong has joined Charlton Athletic on loan until January 1, 2013.

The 20-year-old midfielder, who returned from a seven month injury lay-off in September, has made two first-team appearances for Arsenal so far this term, in the Capital One Cup victories over Coventry City and Reading.

Last season Frimpong featured 14 times for Arsène Wenger’s side by the turn of the year, and made a promising start to a loan spell with Wolverhamton Wanderers before cruciate ligament damage to his right knee brought his campaign to a premature end in February.

He joins up with Chris Powell’s Championship side for the opportunity of a return to regular competitive football over the next two months.

Emmanuel first arrived at Arsenal as a schoolboy and was a key part of the Club’s 2009 FA Youth Cup-winning team.

Everyone at the Club wishes him well for his time at The Valley.

Good on him, I hope he does well there and really takes the chance by the scruff of the neck. I was sad when his time at Wolves was cut short last season, i think he will be a great player in the future but he needs to mature quickly to have any chance of getting into the starting line-up regularly.

GL to Frimmy, hope he does well.

Good move for Frimpong, he's still pretty raw and needs to iron out the flaws in his game so getting regular game time, and playing week in, week out will stand him in good stead for the future.

Decent little move this! This is just to get his fitness back and some game time before he gets a bigger loan move in January

I agree cant see him playing for us this season..Possible end up in the prem on loan somewhere like villa? Would do him the world of good if he can stay fit

Following in the footsteps of Alex Song!

Good time to move as well providing he extends it beyond January 1st (otherwise what's the point?). We've done all we can fitness wise, he should have enough time to settle at Charlton and work his way into the team.

Was wondering, isn't his contract expiring next summer?

[Arsenal Tone]
