Jon Toral has joined La Liga side Granada on a season-long loan from Arsenal, the Spanish side have confirmed.

The 21-year-old had a stunning season while at Championship club Birmingham City last year and was expected to try and push his way into the first-team but with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alex Iwobi, Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Granit Xhaka and co. to compete with for a place in the starting XI, it appears that Arsene Wenger believes the quality of the squad is too high a level for him.

Toral featured heavily during Arsenal’s pre-season last year but was soon sent out on loan and has yet to make a single first-team appearance despite being at the club for five seasons.

The Spaniard was a product of the Santes Creus academy before being moved on to Barcelona at youth level and along with Hector Bellerin, joined the Gunners in 2011.
