Highly promising youngster Miguel Azeez may be recalled from his loan spell with Portsmouth.
The 18-year old was sent to the League 1 side by Arsenal because it was felt that regular first team football would be good for his development.
However, after playing 59 minutes in a league defeat to Cambridge United in September, Azeez has not played for them since, ruled out by an injury for a couple of games, and then being an unused substitute for the last four matches.
It is reported that Portsmouth have concerns about the defensive side of his game, and his tendency to be caught in possession in dangerous areas of the pitch.
If his situation does not improve then they are prepared to recall him, and instead try and find him another team where he will be guaranteed more playing time, with suggestions that a foreign club might be a beneficial environment for him.
