Arsenal news: Birmingham and Norwich to launch moves for Krystian Bielik
ARSENAL starlet Krystian Bielik is wanted by Championship duo Birmingham City and Norwich City.
Birmingham and Norwich want to sign Arsenal starlet Krystian Bielik on loan
The 19-year-old spent three months on the sidelines after undergoing shoulder surgery in September but returned to reserve team action last week.
Bielik spent the second half of last term on loan with Birmingham.
He made 10 appearances for Blues, who avoided relegation on the last day of the season.
Norwich were on the brink of signing Bielik in the summer but his shoulder injury wrecked the move.
According to The Sun on Sunday, both clubs are expected to launch enquiries when the transfer window reopens next month.
Bielik, who can play in defence or midfield, is a long way down the pecking order at Arsenal so a loan move is likely to be sanctioned.
He has made two appearances for the Gunners at first-team level.
After playing the full 90 minutes in last week’s Premier League 2 win against Manchester City, Bielik thanked Gooners for their support during his injury woes.
“After three months break and rehab I’m finally back on the pitch,” he said on Instagram. “No better feeling than that.
“Thank you for all warm messages in during injury. I really appreciate it.”
