The 18-year-old left winger will spend at least the next month with the Shrimpers from Arsenal.

“I chose to do this, I didn’t get told to go. I made my own decision and hopefully it will make me stronger and a better player.

“I want to get a lot of minutes under my belt here and get fit.

“At Arsenal there are a lot of good facilities but it is good to get out and see what it is really like and prove yourself in a team.”
