Arsenal left-back Marc Bola joins Notts County on loan

League Two strugglers Notts County have announced the signing of Arsenal left-back Marc Bola on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old signed his first professional contract at the Emirates Stadium last April after featuring regularly for their Under-21s.

Bola, who will wear number 16 at Meadow Lane, revealed that he is looking forward to linking up with Magpies boss Kevin Nolan.

He told the official Notts site: "It's a pleasure after seeing him at West Ham scoring goals. He believes in young players and he's experienced.

"Notts County is a massive club and I'm just buzzing to get playing."

The Nottingham-based side are currently fighting relegation from the English Football League.
