Arsenal midfielder Catalin Cirjan's loan move to Rapid Bucharest includes a permanent option.

The Romanian youngster signed on a season-long loan with Rapid last week.

And Jeorge Bird's Arsenal youth website is reporting the deal includes an option to buy for Rapid.

Cirjan, 20, told Rapid's website: "It was a long awaited transfer for me. If it was up to me I would have signed it in the first minute but I'm glad I'm here now.

"The first thing that motivated me to come to Rapid was the game I played against Rapid in the Romanian Cup when I was 14. The atmosphere in the stands, the Rapid fans were extraordinary.

"I'm feeling very good. Last season was a very good one. I am 100 per cent ready and excited to show what I can do on the field."
