Arsenal defender Henry Jeffcott recalled from Derby

Arsenal defender Henry Jeffcott has seen his loan with Derby County cut short.

Jeffcott had signed for Derby on a season-long deal with the aim of playing for the U21s.

But he has now been recalled, with fellow fullback Lino Sousa being sold to Aston Villa last week. Jeffcott is expected to slot in as Sousa's replacement, says Jeorge Bird's Arsenal youth website.

With Derby U21s, Jeffcott made eight appearances in Premier League 2.

The 20 year-old is a former Northern Ireland youth international.
