Arsenal looks to lose an England youth forward. Rohan Ricketts has turned down the club's offer fo a professional contract.

On his personal website at Icons, the youngster complains that manager Arsène Wenger won't give youth a chance.

"I am realistic and I am not asking for a guarantee of first-team football, I just want to know that I will be given the chance to progress," Ricketts writes. He reveals that he will discuss a move to another club with his agent next week.

Another youngster, David Bentley, has also commented on the lack of opportunities. See FootballBC.
