Blues Target Arsenal Midfielder - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy is understood to be keen to add 20-year-old Arsenal midfielder Thomas Eisfeld to his squad on loan. The Gunners are keen to send the German out on loan to gain first team experience with other Championship clubs also likely to be interested.
Finsterwalde-born Eisfeld played youth football with SV Quitt Ankum and VfL Osnabrück before joining Borussia Dortmund’s academy in 2005.
Having made 12 senior appearances, scoring six goals, he moved on to Arsenal in January of last year for a fee of £475,000. He made his Gunners debut in their 7-5 Capital One Cup win at Reading in October.
Blues manager McCarthy is keen to add to his midfield before the transfer window closes on Thursday and last week said loans were more likely than permanent additions.
