Dan Crowley will have a medical at Willem II ahead of a permanent return to the Dutch Eredivisie.

Arsenal teen Crowley will sign a three-year deal as he searches for more regular football for a fee based heavily on his success.

The 19-year-old midfielder made a good impression in Holland during a six-month spell with Go Ahead Eagles despite relegation.

Arsene Wenger is a big admirer of Crowley's ability but with only a year left on his Arsenal contract he was determined to leave and develop his career.

The talented creative midfielder had been earmarked as the next Jack Wilshere, given his quick feet and incisive running.

Crowley joined Arsenal from Aston Villa in 2014 before loan spells at Barnsley and Oxford United furthered his development.

But recognising that first-team opportunities at the Emirates would be hard to come by, the 19-year-old has made a decision to better his career elsewhere.

There was plenty of interest from Germany and England's lower leagues and from other clubs in Holland.

Willem's manager, former Dutch international Joris Mathijsen, was a big factor in his decision.
