Arsene Wenger has revealed he
wants to include Chuba Akpom
in his first-team plans this
season after the Arsenal
youngster netted an
impressive hat-trick in
Wednesday's Barclay's Asia
Trophy semi-final against a Singapore Select XI.
Akpom, 19, has made just four senior appearances for
the club he joined at the age of six, but in February
shunned interest from Premier League rivals to sign a
new long-term contract with the Gunners.
Brief spells at Brentford, Coventry City and Nottingham
Forest over the past two years have failed to provide the
platform for Akpom to showcase his talent, but Wenger
insists the young striker will soon be given a chance to
shine at the Emirates Stadium.
"No, he won't be going out on loan," Wenger told
reporters after Akpom's Barclay's Asia Trophy semi-final
heroics. "I sent him out on loan last year because I
thought he needed that.
"But this season no, I plan to keep him with us. It's
down to performance and attitude and he has the assets
to be a big talent. And, after that, to be an efficient
player week in week out, that's the target.
"So it's down to him. How much I don't know. It's
encouragement to do well and work even harder. He’s a
young player and it can lift confidence. The confidence
you sense in the dressing room from other players is
important as well.
"That can help you. But let's not forget it's a friendly.
He's a good talent but he has to work and show that in
every game." Source... Goal.com |

Lol... I hate to admit it... but I told you so... Akpom will play... |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by proudlysports: 10:50pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
Well, he stays. I still don't think it's best for him but hey, Wenger knows best and we'll see by January if it's a good move. I want Akpom to succeed so if this is best move for him, so be it. I just don't think it is Again, this is what Arsene said about Campbell during the Emirates Cup last season “Campbell has done very well. I like the way he plays. He’s good on the ball, creative and he has a good balance between individual skill and collective attitude. That’s not easy to find. “There is now no reason to let him go, either on loan or otherwise.” And he said this about both Sanogo and Campbell again during the Emirates Cup “They need to play of course, but they need to play here. “Sanogo came last year on a free and we worked very hard for six months with him and from January onwards he was slowly getting better, now that we have worked very hard with him, we want him to stay here. We all know what happened later If Akpom stays, I hope he gets games. Sitting on the bench/playing with the reserves will be detrimental to his development IMHO. Let's leave it at that. All the best to Chuba |

pickabeau1: sod09:Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!................ Haa! I knew you would cuss, but hey I was only being considerate in letting you know the latest. Wenger is old and he is on the verge of retirement. But you see, he signed a new three year contract last season, and you know what? he never reneges on his agreements. So unfortunately for you guys there' gonna be at least 2 more years of whining and (as keky puts it) WOBing. You guys rock this thread @sod and pickabeau. |

iPopAlomo:I can't tell if Wenger's comments are real because plans do change. Neither can I say if Akpom is ready for first team action. But like I've said before, it takes just a game (not a season) for a player to have his breakthrough. I have seen it happen several times. And as I have mentioned some pages ago. Having seen Akpom playing last season, the guy obviously has the skill set, his problem was confidence in front of goal, every other skill is intact- positioning, movement off the ball, team play and all. I am pretty sure he is not far away. This boy might be our new Anelka. Subsequent games will prove me right or wrong. |

Spy360: Wenger as four strikers already... one at his prime... in Walcott... one year to his prime in Welbeck... Giroud in the last years of his prime.... Sanchez could wing it as a striker... and Akpom... can all four play... yes... . . what's the point in getting another striker...? It beats logic to pay a player over 100k per week to sit on the bench... four strikers are ideal for rotation... Wenger has his selection headache to deal with in midfield... Ramsey and Wilshere both want central positron... the strikers and defenders department are very balanced... midfield is where everyone should really lament... that's why Rosicky never got the games... towards the second half of the season... Chambers too couldn't get a run in DM... then we've got Arteta and Flamini... waiting... Dan Crowley... coming up... Zelalem... I won't be surprised if Ramsey was sold... we've room for only three midfielders... but again... no one is taking about the midfield... |

Wellinton Silva (remember him?) has just signed a ocntract extention with Arsenal. He has also finally received a work permit from UK authorities. He will most likely go on loan again but this time to an English side. He's been on loan to a few sides in Spain since he signed for Arsenal |

iPopAlomo:The team is so balanced. I think we may have the most balanced squad in EPL. Now lets face facts. Wenger has got to win the title this season. No more excuses can be made. Most observers for the first time in many years now think Arsenal should push Chelsea for the title. With all the money and talents available, Arsene can not give us any reason not to better anyone else, or at least give it a genuine challenge. |

sod09:Listen. There is time for everything... During the financial stress years AW and Arsenal just couldn't compete with Man Utd, Chelsea, and Man City flexing their financial muscles. We were losing our best players to them. Then it was unrealistic to demand for titles when it was obviously not possible (like asking Everton to win EPL). Foolish fans and WOBs who never saw but read of our glory days started crying like spoilt babies, but the board knew AW was being a magician for keeping the club consistently in the UCL. Now that the clout is off, and a team is built- we have stopped selling, started buying big (who be us to buy Ozil before?), and even buying from our direct rivals, common sense should tell you that we are ready to make a challenge. AND WE WILL. ... And this our time. #COYG! 2 Likes |

sod09:Either you or Henry be mumu; choose one. Man Utd that is under reconstruction, buying and selling like a dog in heat; are they the ones that will now win the league? As at now both Chelsea and Arsenal still have a better squad than them, and besides, this new set up by LvG will require at least 6months to mix properly. Last season that they bought Di Maria, Falcao, Herrera, Shaw, Rojo, Blind, gbogbo tin gbo, what did they win? Ok what have they bought now? Schneiderlin from Sotton, Darmian from Atalanta, Schweini-rejected at Bayern, or Depay from PSV. They can only talk of winning the league by next year, and that is if they build well. |
