ARSENAL starlet Nikolaj Moller has returned to Dutch outfit FC Den Bosch on loan after his spell last season.
The 19-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign with the second division side.
He proved to be a key player for Jack de Gier's men as he helped the Blue White Dragons finish mid-table.
In total he featured in 11 Ereste Divisie matches – chipping in with two goals and a solitary assist.
And Arsenal have decided to send the Sweden youth international back on loan to the club to continue his development.
A statement from the Gunners read: "We wish Nikolaj all the best at FC Den Bosch and look forward to seeing his development in the upcoming season."
