ARSENAL have sold youngster Dan Crowley to Dutch minnows Willem II.
The 19-year-old, who has represented both England and Ireland at international level, joined on a free transfer and has signed a three-year deal.
Having spent last season on loan at Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles, Crowley is confident he can hack it in Holland.
He said: "I see obviously an advantage. I know what is required to play football here."
The Coventry-born midfielder never got a chance at the Emirates after being loaned out to Barnsley and Oxford before his spell with the Eagles.
Crowley said: "I want to be important on the field and to develop myself as a player. I can only do that if I get playing time and confidence, I feel that I'm getting that here at Willem II."
Technical director Joris Mathijsen said: "We are extremely pleased that we have a talent like Daniel pledged their loyalty to us.
"He fits well into our mix of young and experienced potential forces."
