Arsenal recalled youngster Zech Medley from his loan with Gillingham yesterday and immediately sent him to Kilmarnock.

The 20-year-old had spent the first half of 2020/21 at the Priestfield Stadium, playing 18 times in Steve Evans’ team.

Medley showcased his versatility brilliantly at Gillingham, playing at left-back and centre-back during his time with the club.

The youngster stands at 6ft 5in and will now embark on another adventure this time in Scotland.

Kilmarnock have taken the youngster on loan for the second half of the campaign and he’ll hope to continue playing regular football.

Medley is out of contract during the summer and will hope to put himself in the shop window.

Arsenal could offer him a new deal but right now that does seem somewhat unlikely.

The player who arrived as a scholar from Chelsea has made three first-team appearances for the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta has a strong desire to trust the club’s younger players and that should encourage Medley.

All he can do right now is keep his head down and play well for Kilmarnock.

Following his move north of the border, Arsenal supporters took to Twitter to react to the news.

Here is what they were saying about Medley’s latest loan.
