The vice champion of England, Arsenal, has decided to call up 33-year-old Estonian national team veteran Mart Poom to the position of reserve goalkeeper. He has been loaned to the English capital team for half a year, while defender Justin Hoyte is traveling to the opposite side for the entire season.
Recently recovering from a knee injury, Poom will be a substitute for the main goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, and if he impresses the team's coach, Arsene Wenger, he could become a full-fledged team member in January. The Estonian could debut in the Champions League in just two weeks, as Jens Lehmann is suspended for Arsenal's first two matches.
The 20-year-old English youth national team defender J. Hoyte, who mostly plays on the right side of the field, became redundant for Arsenal when Sol Campbell recovered from injury, so the young footballer will gain playing experience in the Premier League on loan to Sunderland.
At the same time, the London club also loaned another young player, David Bentley, who is moving to Blackburn. 21-year-old defender Bentley was loaned to Norwich City last season, but they later dropped to a lower division.
