Arsenal’s Afobe on loan to Bolton! by KJ
Arsenal have announced that Benik Afobe will go on loan to Bolton for coming season. Bolton unfortunately were relegated to the Championship but are hopeful on returning to their rightful place in the Premier League.
I like Bolton. They’re an honest club with a quality manager. They’re very different from Arsenal in the sense that they’re more physical and depend more on long balls but this is certainly a positive for Arsenal players that are loaned there as they get to learn the physical side of the game. It greatly benefited Wilshere and Miyaichi would’ve learnt a lot with Coyle.
It will be great experience for Afobe who can learn his trade in a more physical league. I’m also hoping that Bolton will give him the majority of starts available. I think Owen Coyle appreciates how effective the technical ability of an Arsenal player can have on a squad that seems to lack that very quality.
Afobe is quick, strong and has been moulded into a very effective target man. He is aggressive and likes to assert himself amongst the defenders. Already, at only 19, he’s already proving to be a better asset than Maroune Chamakh. That was demonstrated in the tour whenever Chamakh was substituted off for Afobe – there was a distinct difference in attitude and hunger.
His build and attributes are similar to that of Giroud so even when he returns, he can be taught a thing or two by our recently acquired Frenchman.
This will really be a great deal of experience for Afobe and I hope he can help (as he did with Reading) promote Bolton to the Premier League. Arsenal in terms of loans have built a great relationship with Owen Coyle and this can be very fortuitous in the future.
