Young forward Sanchez Watt has today joined League One side Southend United on loan for one month.
18 year-old Sanchez made a memorable first-team debut earlier this season. Being named in the starting line-up for the Carling Cup Third Round match against West Bromwich Albion, the London-born striker impressed throughout the match and rounded off a fine performance by scoring Arsenal's first goal in the 2-0 home victory.
Sanchez, full name Herschel Sanchez Watt, featured in all three Carling Cup matches this season. In addition to his scoring debut against West Brom, Sanchez came on as a substitute in the home victory over Liverpool and the away defeat to Manchester City. The young striker was also in the first-team squad, as an unused substitute, in the away UEFA Champions League victory over Standard Liege in September.
Sanchez, who has been prolific for the Reserves this season, scoring five goals from his eight appearances, was also a key member of Arsenal's Under-18 double-winning side last season. Equally comfortable on the wing or up front, he appeared in all eight of the FA Youth Cup fixtures, netting a brace in the Semi-Final before striking in both legs of the victory over Liverpool in The FA Youth Cup Final.
Sanchez joined Arsenal as a scholar in summer 2007, signing professional terms with Arsenal a year later in summer 2008. His fine performances were rewarded in November, when he signed a new long-term contract with the Club.
Sanchez will immediately join up with Steve Tilson's squad and will stay on loan with The Shrimpers until 28th February 2010.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Sanchez the best of luck during his time with Southend United.
