Notts County have received positive feedback from Arsenal for how they coached Marc Bola during his loan spell at Meadow Lane, Alan Hardy has claimed.

The 19-year-old left-back joined the Magpies on loan in January and impressed in his 13 appearances for Kevin Nolan's side.

With Notts now likely more in good stead with clubs higher up the football pyramid due to their credentials in handling and nurturing young loanees, it is an avenue that the Magpies owner is looking to pursue.

"Marc was a huge success for us and he produced some excellent performances," Hardy told the Nottingham Post.

"I received some lovely correspondence from Arsenal saying that he had learned so much from his time with us.

"It's good to know we can help these players develop, while obviously helping us at the same time.

"The loan market is something we will use before the window shuts and the manager already has targets in mind.

"I think the Premier League clubs know that if they send their players to us, we will give them games and ultimately help them develop."
