The exciting 19-year-old prospect who has been a regular for Arsenal’s under-21 side over the past 18-months is comfortable at playing on either flank.
Baring raw pace, Sagoe Jr is thought to fit the bill of the type of hungry and athletic player Swans head-coach Luke Williams has been in the market for and will provide a much-needed option in the final third of the pitch.
The former Fulham trainee who made his debut for Arsenal’s first team in the Carabao Cup against Brentford in September 2023 is set for his first loan of his career.
The youngster joined Arsenal from the Cottagers in 2015 and worked his way through the youth academy, making his first appearance at under-18 level in 2021 at the age of 16 before excelling at that level in the 2021-22 season with nine goals and three assists in the youth Premier League.
Mainly featuring on the right-hand side the of attack, Sagoe Jr scored nine goals in the Premier League 2 last season and has been in fine form during the current campaign, notching six assists in eight matches to demonstrate his all-round development in the final third.
The Londoner will link up with club teammate Charlie Patino in the first-team squad and will become the Swans second signing of the January transfer window later today following Brazilian Ronald’s move on Monday.
The transfer window slams shut at 11pm tonight with the club’s Sporting Director Paul Watson still actively looking to strengthen the squad further.
