Rangers Target Gunners Star

Last updated : 10 November 2004 By Mark O' Haire

Ian Holloway has continued looking for able strikers to help boost an injury ravanged squad, more so now that Tony Thorpe faces another six week layoff.

Quincy is an 18-year old Dutch striker who has been a regular in the Arsenal reserves and youth team.

He played in last night's league cup tie against Everton looking lightening quick and grabbed himself a goal too.

The Independent had this to say of the Gunners youngster from last night's fixture:

"The 18-year old burst onto a pass from Pennant, held off Tony Hibbert, and scored inside the near post".

"Arsenal made the most of their escape when Owusu-Abeyie rode three tackles and slid the ball to Van Persie…".

Some Gunners supporters reckon he may be quicker than Henry although as yet that is not official, (the pair are yet to race).

Quincy was signed from the famous youth academy of Ajax after spending nine years in his home country before leaving for North London in the summer of 2002.

The Dutch forward is blessed with lightening speed and is said to be a real lover of ball skills.

Arsene Wenger may be keen to accept Ollie's offer of a loan contract as Quincy showed last night, he has the skill but what he does need is experience.

The Dutch teenager made his first team debut against Rotherham United in the league cup last season and went onto make a further three appearances in the competition.

A loan spell at SK Beveren (Belgium) last season helped round his raw and exciting talent and Ollie may ask Wenger to borrow another of his precious gems in the near future.
