Arsenal are expected to inform Leeds United whether they will recall Eddie Nketiah over the next ten days.
Nketiah made his first start of the season in the Championship on Sunday, filling in for an absent Patrick Bamford, in a thrilling 5-4 win at Birmingham City for Leeds.
Arsenal remain concerned about the lack of game time Nketiah has enjoyed during his loan at Leeds and the Gunners could end his stint in January, looking to send him elsewhere.
Leeds expect Nketiah to travel for the New Year's Day meeting with West Brom, but according to The Athletic, Arsenal are expected to inform the Whites of their decision in the next ten days.
Despite Mikel Arteta taking over as head coach, Arsenal's view of Nketiah's situation at Leeds has remained the same, with their youngster not receiving enough playing time.
Losing Nketiah would be a blow for Leeds and force the club to look at bringing in a replacement in next month's transfer window.
The club beat off competition from several sides to convince Arsenal to let Nketiah move to Elland Road on loan.
He clocked 81 minutes at St Andrew's against Birmingham on Sunday before being replaced by Tyler Roberts.
