Arsenal forward Chuba Akpom joins Brighton on loan

Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom has joined Brighton on loan for the remainder of this season.

The move has been confirmed by both clubs and a statement on Arsenal’s website read: “Chuba Akpom will join Championship leaders Brighton & Hove Albion on loan. The loan is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.”

The 21-year-old forward is highly rated by the academy staff and the Gunners want him to continue his development with regular first-team football. Akpom was a huge hit at Hull City last season and the Londoners are hoping that he can have a similar impact at Brighton now.
