7-7-10: New Yeovil loanee Luke Freeman is delighted to have secured a move to the club and is looking forward to gaining some much needed first-team experience.
The 18-year-old striker, who recently joined the Glovers on loan from Arsene Wenger's Arsenal until 31st December, is a England youth international.
He signed his first professional contract at the Emirates in April after netting 19 goals in 24 appearances for the club's Under 18 side.
Freeman, who also scored one goal in 11 reserve team outings, says there is the possibility of extending the deal until the end of the season.
He said: "I'm happy to be here, it's a nice town and stadium and everyone has been very welcoming.
"I'm getting to an age where I want some first-team experience. I've trained with the first team a few times as well and it's all been good experience.
"I'd like to go back to Arsenal in December or the end of the season and maybe look to play in the first team."
24-11-10: Luke Freeman has returned to Arsenal after a loan spell with Yeovil.
The young striker has been suffering from a groin injury and therefore it was decided to cut his loan spell short.
