Tyreece John-Jules: Derby County to renew loan to keep Arsenal striker
- Published
John-Jules has been capped by England up to Under-21 level but has yet to make a senior appearance for Arsenal
Arsenal striker Tyreece John-Jules is set to renew his loan stay with League One high-flyers Derby County, says Rams boss Paul Warne.
The 22-year-old's initial loan expired after Derby's last-gasp 3-2 win against Burton on Monday night.
The forward, who has scored twice in 12 appearances, starred in the victory and played a part in Derby's opening goal.
"I believe it is all signed and delivered," said Warne, when asked about a new deal for John-Jules.
"He is staying until the end of the season, which is good because we are getting more game time out of him."
Warne has made keeping John-Jules for the rest of the season a priority during the transfer window.
Injuries limited his impact in the first half of the season, but two goals in two games on his return to action in November after almost three months out had the Rams boss calling the striker the "player Derby have been missing."
Warne told BBC Radio Derby: "We still have to be really cautious with him but he had moments tonight where you can see why we want him at the football club,
"He will be a big part going forward."
