MK Dons sign former Arsenal midfielder

League One side MK Dons sign injured midfielder Chuks Aneke on a one-year deal.

MK Dons have signed former Arsenal midfielder Chuks Aneke on a one-year deal from Belgian side Zulte Waregem.

The 23-year-old, who left the Gunners in 2014, has previous experience in League One with loan spells at Crewe Alexandra, Preston North End and Stevenage.

Aneke is currently recovering from a cruciate ligament injury but will continue his rehab at his new club with the aim of returning to action in November.

"I've known about this club, the manager and the staff for a long time, so I'm delighted to be here," Aneke told the Dons website. "I'm happy to be at the club and hopefully I can bring some of what I can do into the team."

Manager Karl Robinson added: "Chuks is someone we've known about for a very long time. He's a very talented player and I'm excited to work with him.

"While he isn't ready for match action just yet, we didn't want to miss out on bringing him to the football club. Also, with the abolition of emergency and youth loans outside of the transfer window, we are limited to what we can do during the season.

"We wanted to have Chuks here at the club now so we can take control of his rehab and he can be around his new teammates."

During his most recent loan spell at Crewe, Aneke contributed 14 goals in 40 league appearances.
