Arsenal loanee goalkeeper Ovie Ejeheri keeps fourth successive clean sheet at Chelmsford City

NIGERIA-eligible goalkeeper Ovie Ejeheri currently on loan to Chelmsford City  from Arsenal has kept his fourth clean sheet in the league having managed to keep out Taunton Town over the weekend.

Ejeheri, 19, is on a short term loan deal until January 2023 with Chelmsford City, the National League South team. Since joining the club, which is playing in the fourth tier of English football, Ejeheri is enjoying first team football week-in-week out and is catching the eye with his sterling performances.

An English-born youngster of Nigerian descent, Ejeheri came through the ranks at Arsenal's Hale End Academy.  Since his move at the start of the season, he has established himself as the number one goalkeeper at the Clarets, having started six games from a possible nine in the National League South.

Ejeheri has not conceded a goal in each of his last two matches against Oxford City and Taunton Town and he was also unbeaten against Slough Town or Chippenham Town. Only St Albans City's Kyran Wiltshire and Weymouth's Tom Blair have been able to beat Ejeheri in the National League South so far this season.

With the Arsenal loanee delivering four clean sheets, Chelmsford City are now sitting fourth in the table with eighteen points from nine games.  Ejeheri, who is eligible to represent Nigeria, has been on the books of Arsenal since the age of five.
