Chuks Aneke signs on loan until January

Crewe Alexandra can confirm that Chuks Aneke has signed on a six-month loan deal from Arsenal. The former England Youth International, 20, signed his forms at Arsenal earlier today and is making his way up to South Cheshire to rejoin his former team-mates ahead of the new season.

Aneke, scored 8 goals in 38 appearances for Crewe last season and helped the club lift the Johnstone's Paint Trophy for the first time in our history. Aneke has recently been on Arsenal's pre-season trip to Asia, but has been allowed out on loan to gain regular first-team football.

Aneke will be wearing the number 26 - the same as last season.

Crewe are still awaiting official clearance from the Football League ahead of tomorrow's opening fixture.
