Transfer News: Arsenal Striker, John-Jules Joins New Club

Arsenal 20-year-old striker, Tyreece John-Jules, has joined League One side, Sheffield Wednesday.

Naija News understands that the young star departed Emirates on Wednesday, January 26, and would spend the rest of the season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.

Arsenal confirmed the development in an official statement released on the club’s website ahead of their next English Premier League clash with Wolves in February.

The statement read, “Tyreece John-Jules has joined League One side Sheffield Wednesday on loan for the remainder of the season.

“The 20-year-old forward returned to us last week from a loan spell at Blackpool where he had made 12 appearances.

“A prolific goalscorer for our Under-18s and Under-23s, Tyreece also scored for the first team in a friendly against Al-Nasr Dubai SC during our mid-season visit in March 2019.”

Arsenal had earlier announced that their goalkeeper, Karl Hein, has departed Emirates to join another English side, Reading, on loan, Naija News understands.

In another news, former Barcelona defender, Lobo Carrasco has claimed that Argentine striker, Lionel Messi is not happy in France with his current club, PSG.

He added that if things don’t change for the better very soon, Messi may dump PSG and return to Barcelona in Spain.

Naija News reports Messi only left Barca for PSG this season as a free agent after failing to agree on a new contract with the La Liga giants, Barcelona but Carrasco feels the Argentine may cut short his stay in France as early as the end of the current season.

“I see important clues regarding Messi’s return to Barca. And it may be sooner than expected. If the results do not follow, especially in the Champions League, he could demand his departure.

“The situation is difficult, but his return is possible.

“Messi is not happy in Paris. Not as much as in Barcelona anyway. If he sent a burofax to Barça, which is the team of his life, imagine what he can do at PSG if the club doesn’t win?,” Carrasco told El Chiringuito TV.
