Arsenal starlet Chuba Akpom joins Championship leaders Brighton on loan until the end of the season

Chuba Akpom has joined Championship leaders Brighton on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old striker has enjoyed loan spells at Brentford, Coventry and Nottingham Forest in his fledgling career and helped Hull to promotion back to the Premier League last season, scoring seven goals in 22 starts.

Akpom will have to wait until Burton's visit on February 11 for the chance to make his home debut. The England Under 21 international has scored four goals in three appearances for other clubs at the Amex.
