Arsenal midfielder Mark Randall could spend next season in the Championship, after reports emerged suggesting that Derby County are interested in taking him on loan.
Randall, who captained Arsenal Reserves last season, has been on the periphery of the first-team for three seasons without making a significant breakthrough, and his chances were hindered further by the arrival of Aaron Ramsey from Cardiff.
Arsenal have a good relationship with the Rams, who took striker Nacer Barazite on loan last campaign, and this could prove to be an excellent opportunity for Randall to show that he has the quality to break into the first-team squad.
In other news, forward Carlos Vela is a doubt for Mexico’s next Gold Cup game after picking up an injury in the early stages of yesterday’s 2-0 victory over Nicaragua.
Vela was the victim of a clattering tackle from behind with just 5 minutes on the clock and failed to recover before being replaced by Medina.
Goals from Luis Miguel Noriega and Pablo Berrara gave Javier Aguirre’s side all three points and Mexico now sit top of their group ahead of the next round of fixtures, which sees them face Panama on Thursday.
