DERBY COUNTY boss Paul Jewell reckons Nacer Barazite will be an exciting addition to his squad.

The 18-year-old Dutchman joined the Rams on a month-long loan deal from Arsenal.

The striker has featured twice for the Gunners, both in the Carling Cup, and played a key role for the north Londoners in pre-season.

As such, Jewell believes the talented teenager can make a real impact in his Championship squad.

"He is an exciting prospect and a very good footballer," Jewell told the club's website.

"I am quite keen to get a link-up with some top teams and I spoke to [Arsenal boss] Arsene Wenger over the summer about a few players.

"Nacer is young but has played in their first-team and he will come here to join up with our first-team squad."
