Arsenal considering future of 21-year-old academy graduate amid floundering fortunes

Arsenal are set to make a firm decision on Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand’s future ahead of January, as an exit beckons for the midfielder.

According to Give Me Sport, Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand’s time at Arsenal could be coming to an end as the Gunners are set to make a decision on his future. The 21-year-old academy graduate has looked increasingly close to featuring for the senior team over the last years, but that ship may have sailed.

Arsenal have a really strong squad for the present and future, as their senior team looks equipped to challenge for big titles. As for their young prospects, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have become permanent members of the first team this season and look to have bright futures ahead.

As for some of the rising stars in the background, the club may have to decide on their immediate future, including that of Salah-Eddine Ouland M’Hand. The 21-year-old academy graduate has been on the books of the club for a few years now and has yet to break into the first-team mould.

Back in the summer, he was playing regularly for the team during their pre-season tour, and there was a wider expectation that Mikel Arteta could facilitate his breakthrough in the regular season. That has yet to happen, as the manager has preferred Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, who are now regular members of the first team.

In any case, Salah-Eddine has struggled to make his senior debut for the side despite packing a whole lot of talent. He has gone away once or twice before, and ahead of the January window, it might be the last time he leaves Arsenal, as his contract expires next summer.

Salah-Eddine to leave Arsenal?

As things stand, there is no chance of Salah-Eddine breaking into the Arsenal first-team squad this season, which will force the 21-year-old academy graduate to consider his options ahead. With his contract expiring, the best way out for him is to leave on a loan deal and then impress other suitors in the limited time he will have between January and the summer.

Arsenal are likely to make their decision on the 21-year-old academy graduate as an exit from the club beckons Salah-Eddine. In what could have been a promising future, the midfielder may have come through at the wrong time, when this Gunners side are packed with huge talents.
