# Talented Arsenal midfielder could leave the club until end of the season

[![Galatasaray v Arsenal - UEFA Champions League Group Stage Matchday Six Group D](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Gedion-Zelalem--500x357.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Gedion-Zelalem-.jpg?admin)Rangers and Arsenal fans at the Transfer Tavern have united this evening to discuss one of the latest rumours concerning their clubs, which they are both delighted with.

[*Metro*](https://metro.co.uk/2015/10/28/arsenal-to-make-transfer-decision-on-gedion-zelalems-rangers-loan-next-month-report-5467287/)[state the Gunners will make a decision on Gedion Zelalem in November](https://metro.co.uk/2015/10/28/arsenal-to-make-transfer-decision-on-gedion-zelalems-rangers-loan-next-month-report-5467287/) to decide whether to extend the 18-year-old’s loan spell in Scotland, where he has extremely impressed our punters from north of the border.

Furthermore Liam Brady, former academy director for the Gunners, told [*The Glasgow Evening Times* that there’s a high chance Zelalem will remain in Scotland until the end of the season.](https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/rangers/13900584.Rangers_set_to_discover_soon_if_they_can_keep_Arsenal_kid_Gedion_Zelalem_until_the_end_of_the_season/)

> ‘I think if Gedion is happy to stay then we would look favourably on that. But it will be entirely up to Arsene Wenger at the end of the day.’
>
> ‘I think by the end of November we will have a meeting about all our loan players and see how they are doing. We have to evaluate the next transfer window. Gedion will be one of those we discuss. A lot depends on how Gedion himself feels.’

Arsenal fans in the bar are keen to see Zelalem continue to earn first-team football ahead of a successful stint in the Gunners squad, where they tip him as a future superstar, whilst Rangers fans desperately want him until the end of their current campaign.

**Would Zelalem benefit from returning to Arsenal in January? Let us know in the comments below!**
