Chuba Akpom has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season to gain some more first team experience.
Akpom who has recently just signed a new deal at Arsenal boasts an incredible scoring record for the youth sides of Arsenal and made his U18’s debut at the age of 15. In the 13/14 season Akpom scored 15 in 21 and has scored 9 in 11 this campaign as well as featuring in the first team.
Akpom has a lot of potential and hopefully this loan move can get him the football he needs. This comes after a complex loan deal with Coventry last year which saw him play for the Sky Blues at the weekend and Arsenal in midweek which meant his training schedule was constantly disrupted.
Promoted to the first team this year and 3rd choice in January, Akpom has come on leaps and bounds. More importantly he has made an impression to all Arsenal fans when he has been given minutes by Wenger. Akpom looked like he would score against Villa and had a good chance against Brighton.
