Gunners forward plays 90 minutes in reserve team win over Chelsea

Chuks Aneke has returned to Arsenal.

The young striker finished his loan spell at Boro at the weekend and returned to Arsenal where he featured in the reserve team’s 2-0 win over Chelsea on Monday.

Aneke originally signed a two-month loan deal with Stevenage in November with the Gunners hopeful that Boro would go on to make an offer of a permanent deal for the teenager. However, despite extending Aneke’s loan deal until mid-March Stevenage are thought to have dropped their interest in a permanent deal and the front man, who started two league games and came off the bench four times during his spell at Boro, has returned to his parent club.
