I don't know him well, but if he was rated (moderately) highly, he should've gotten minutes ahead of Lichtsteiner and Jenkinson. It is frustrating our youth is not getting more opportunities.
Now, I haven't seen him play, but as long as Arsenal hasn't signed another RB, I'd keep this guy around as back-up. Might even play the first few games until Bellerin is match fit.
Otherwise, sell with a buy-back clause.
There is a fine balance that needs to be found between developing, selling and promoting youth prospects and I think currently, we're getting it dead wrong. Losing big talents on a free (Daley Campbell, possibly Amaechi) and not using them to fill gaping holes in our squad (Willock, Osei-Tutu, Amaechi/Nelson/Saka). Club needs to step it up before prospects opt out of Arsenal and the club needs to spend more money on bringing in average squaddies (Elneny, Lichtsteiner).
