After Arsene Wenger said he was not going to send Chuba Akpon on loan this season, the young striker says he feels he’s ready to make the step-up at Arsenal.
Having already outgrown youth level football, it’s all about the first team now and Akpom, having signed a new contract earlier this year, wants to make the breakthrough at Arsenal.
“I’ve been at Arsenal since I was six years old, so that’s a few years and I really want to stay here," He told Arsenalplayer.
“This season could be a big season for me and with a lot of hard work it could be a breakthrough season for me. The main thing is to stay here and I think the loans have helped me gain experience. I’m just getting better every time.
“It was a good team performance but it was even better to get a hat-trick. I’m just hoping I can carry on my form for the rest of the pre-season and take it into the season.
“You’ve got to give 100 per cent because you don’t get this chance often, so when you get it you have to make the most of it.
“Hopefully the boss has seen that I’ve been working hard in training, that I’ve been working hard on the pitch, and hopefully I can get more game time in the season.”
