Arsenal's Dan Crowley set to join Eredivisie side Willem II - sources

Arsenal youngster Dan Crowley is set to leave the club to join Dutch Eredivisie side Willem II, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.

Crowley ended last season on loan in the Netherlands with Go Ahead Eagles and he impressed during his time in Eredivisie for the second half of the season.

The skilful midfielder scored two goals and laid on two assists in 16 games for Go Ahead Eagles after spending the first half of last season on loan at League One outfit Oxford.

His form in the Netherlands has brought him to the attention of Willem II and they have moved to fend off interest from clubs in England and Germany to bring the player back to the Eredivisie.

Crowley is undergoing a medical in the Netherlands ahead of signing a three-year deal with Willem II.

Crowley was considered one of the biggest talents in Arsenal's academy after being signed from Aston Villa in the summer of 2014.

However, the 19-year-old never made a first-team appearance during his time at the Emirates and Arsenal have decided to let him move on.
