Arsenal youngster agrees season-long loan to Championship club

Arsenal and Hull City have announced that Chuba Akpom will spend the season out on loan at the KC Stadium.

The 19-year-old was expected to have a breakthrough season at the Emirates Stadium this year, after Arsene Wenger confirmed he wouldn’t be sent out on loan.

However, things have changed in Wenger‘s mind and he has now agreed to give Akpom a full season out on loan to Hull, who have recently been relegated from the Premier League to the Championship.

Loaned Out

Akpom spent half of last season in that league with Nottingham Forest last year and will cherish the chance of regular first-team football under Steve Bruce throughout the 2015/2016 campaign.

The striker had a successful pre-season with The Gunners, scoring a hat-trick against a Singapore XI during the Asia cup.

He will now join up with Isaac Hayden who also completed a loan move to the KC Stadium from Arsenal earlier in the summer.
