Frimpong linked with move to Saint Etienne

According to a couple of (spurious) reports in the French press, Emmanuel Frimpong is being touted as a possible January loan signing for French side Saint Etienne.

The Ghanaian midfielder, who has battled back from two serious knee injuries in the last few years, hasn’t featured for the Gunners this term making and made just two appearances in the League Cup last year.

The 22-year-old is no stranger to a temporary move having previously played for Wolves, Charlton and Fulham; and given the number of midfield options at Arsene Wenger’s disposal it makes sense for him to be seeking playing time in pastures new.
