Exciting Englishman announces “I’m really happy to be here,” after Arsenal deal confirmed

Miguel Azeez says the opportunity to learn and develop under Kolo Touré’s guidance was a big reason why he made the decision to join Wigan on loan from Arsenal

Azeez, 20, has signed for Latics on loan until the end of the 2022/23 campaign, after spending the first half of the season with Spanish Second Division outfit UD Ibiza

Speaking to Latics TV, the England youth international revealed his excitement to arrive at the DW Stadium, and work with the former Arsenal invincible and Ivory Coast international. 

“I’m really happy to be here,” he said. 

“It’s a real honour, and I thank both Wigan and Arsenal for getting this deal over the line. I’m looking forward to playing and helping the team. 

“It’s a big step up, and I’m ready to give my all for the team and the fans, and prove myself.”

On working with the Gaffer, Azeez added: 

“Firstly, it was the confidence I had in the manager when he spoke to me. He wanted me to be a part of the team and help them (moving forward). 

“That coming from an Arsenal legend is such an honour, especially with myself being an Arsenal fan. Working with Kolo is going to be an honour.”

People that have seen Azeez play will be excited as he is a very talented young man – so this is a good move for him.

We do not know if he will ever get a chance to shine at the Emirates – but he should use him time wisely at Wigand and try to get the game time he needs.

There will be clubs watching him and if he impresses – he could have a very successful career in the lower Leagues
