Arsenal give a two day trial to Angers midfielder Alharbi El Jadeyaoui [Ouest-France]

According to French news agency Ouest-France, Arsenal have handed a two day trial to 26-year-old midfielder Alharbi El Jadeyaoui.

El Jadeyaoui is currently employed by second division French outfit Angers, whom he joined at the start of 2012, and last campaign the midfielder made 35 appearances for the club scoring four times. El Jadeyaoui is also a Moroccan international.

According to reports, El Jadeyaoui was left out of Angers’ squad for last weekend’s 4-2 win at Istres in the opening week of the Ligue 2 season.

A naturally left-footed player, El Jadeyaoui is known for having good vision and distribution skills, as well as been confident dribbling the ball and taking on defenders.

Of course, just because El Jadeyaoui is on trial at Arsenal that doesn’t mean the Gunners will necessarily look to buy the player. Moreover, El Jadeyaoui is not the only player currently auditioning for Arsene Wenger’s side, with Atlético Nacional’s 18-year-old midfielder Sebastián Pérez also in north London at the moment trying out for the Gunners.
