CHUBA AKPOM JOINS FOREST ON LOAN

-

Chuba Akpom has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.


The 19-year-old forward has made seven substitute appearances for Arsenal this season, winning a penalty in the 5-0 victory over Aston Villa at the start of February following an impressive performance in Arsenal’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton and Hove Albion the week before.

Akpom is part of Aidy Boothroyd’s England Under-20s squad and scored a well-deserved equaliser in their penalty shootout victory over Mexico on March 25.

The striker, who signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal in February, made his debut for Arsenal Under-18s at the age of 15 and has been an integral part of the youth set-up ever since. The young forward is joining the Championship side to gain further first team experience.

Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker has said Alexis Sanchez is "definitely" staying at the club next season. Sanchez's future remains unclear as he is set to enter the last year of his contract, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reiterated on Tuesday that he will not sell the Chile international. And Mertesacker, who is retiring next season to take charge of Arsenal's academy, told Fox Sports in Australia that he is expecting to line up alongside Sanchez in his final year as a player. When asked if Sanchez is staying at Arsenal, Mertesacker said: "Yes, definitely. I think [Sanchez] was impressive in the Confederations Cup. He's now on holiday so it's quiet in terms of conversations. But he's a warrior on the pitch. "I think he wants to come back as quickly as possible -- he hates holidays, he hates to calm down. I'm looking forward to playing alongside him in my last season and he thinks the same." Arsenal are...

HENRY CRITICIZES HERNANDEZ'S CELEBRATION

Thierry Henry has criticised Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez for his celebration after scoring a last-gasp winner against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, saying on Sky Sports: "What I don't like is 'Chicharito' seems like he's won the World Cup with that." Real advanced to the semifinals of the competition after the on-loan Manchester United man's goal at the Bernabeu, which secured a  1-0 aggregate victory . Hernandez, who has struggled for opportunities under Carlo Ancelotti this season, had been presented with a relatively simple finish after good work from Cristiano Ronaldo, and former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Henry said the Mexico international's teammate deserved the credit. "That's Ronaldo's goal," the Sky pundit said. "At that particular moment he couldn't shoot, so he didn't take the risk of doing something stupid and silly with it. "He saw a guy in a better posi...
