Nigeria-born striker Chuba Akpom has joined English Championship Brighton and Hove Albion on loan from Arsenal. Until the end 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.
Manager Chris Hughton commented is happy to add the youngster to his squad.
“As soon as we allowed Elvis Manu to go out on loan we knew we wanted to add to the forward area, so we are delighted to bring in someone of Chuba’s caliber,” he said.
“He is a young talent who gained valuable experience with Hull in the Championship last season, will give us really good pace in the forward areas and complement the other strikers at the club.
“We fought off competition from other clubs to sign Chuba, and we would like to thank Arsenal for the opportunity of working with him for the rest of the season.”
