Wenger on Dan Crowley’s development

By Lloyd Webb

Arsene Wenger has hailed Dan Crowley as a “special talent” after he joined Oxford United on loan.

The midfielder will spend the upcoming season at the Us following their promotion to League One, having impressed during a three-month loan spell at Barnsley last year.

“He is a player who has a huge talent,” Wenger told Arsenal Player. “He’s very creative and he’s very good in the final third. He’s a special talent as well, he can finish and he can do the final ball.

“What he needs is to develop physically a little bit and already I think he has made a big strides forward there and also cope with the responsibility of being the playmaker.

“In the Premier League today, maybe it is a bit early for him but to carry that long process through, it’ll be interesting for him.”
