Arsenal youngster Marquinhos has completed a loan move to Championship side Norwich City.

THE LOWDOWN: DECENT START

Marquinhos arrived at Arsenal just last summer and had a dream debut in the Arsenal shirt after spending some time with the youth team.

He was involved in both Arsenal goals in the win over FC Zurich in the Europa League. He made a couple of appearances in the league afterwards but he barely made a mark.

Having not impressed and with the acquisition of some players in the January transfer window, the Brazilian has now been shipped out on loan to the Championship club.

THE LATEST: LOAN MOVE

Arsenal youngster Marquinhos will join Norwich City on loan until the end of the season.

He will wear the number 13 shirt for the Canaries where he is expected to link up with former São Paulo team-mate Gabriel Sara once again.

Speaking at the announcement of his transfer, Marquinhos said: “I’m really happy to arrive here in Norwich and very excited to play my first game.

“I’ve learnt a lot as part of my adaptation here in England. It’s totally different to Brazil. It’s more intensive but I’m adapting well in order to help Norwich.

“I’m also really happy to get to know a new club, a new culture and a new city. The fans can expect that I’ll show desire.”

Head coach David Wagner added: “We’re delighted to have been able to add Marquinhos to our group. He is a young and exciting wide player, who wants to learn and further continue his development.”

THE VERDICT: TIME TO GAIN VALUABLE EXPERIENCE

Marquinhos did not get much playing time at Arsenal and now has the chance to impress in the championship.

He can take a cue from Folarin Balogun who is doing well in the French Ligue 1 to motivate himself until the end of the season.
