Midfielder expects to return to the US after his loan deal ends

Brek Shea admits he is unlikely to make his current loan deal at Arsenal a permanent one. The 21-year-old had been attracting the attention of a number of Premier League sides after some dazzling displays for both club and country. But the FC Dallas midfielder, who is currently training with Arsene Wenger's squad at their London Colney base, insists he still has a lot to learn before he is ready to cross the Atlantic. He said: "I got a call one day and was offered the chance to go and train during the break. I thought it was cool and I accepted - it was as easy as that. "Arsene Wenger said he wanted the best players even in training. This is a great opportunity for me even if it is only for a short while. "I am very excited to train with players of great quality, some of which are the best in the world. "Rubbing shoulders with them will obviously make me grow. I cannot wait. "I am likely to stay with Dallas, though. I am still young and I have got a lot to learn before trying my luck in Europe."
