England U-20 international Chuba Akpom has completed a loan move to Championship side Nottingham Forest until the end of the current season. The 19 year old superstar was also being chased by promotion-chasing duo of Bournemouth and Norwich City, however, the youngster opted to choose Forest instead. According to the Mirror the Arsenal forward preferred the City Ground as Forest look to fight for a possible play-off spot now.
Akpom has made seven appearances as a substitute this season and was quite impressive when the Gunners secured a 5-0 victory over Aston Villa earlier the season. The Englishman also won a penalty in that game which Spaniard Santi Cazorla managed to convert from the spot. There is a good possibility that the youngster will receive many more chances of playing in the first-team at Forest as Dougie Freedman looks to find a suitable replacement for the injured Britt Assombalonga. Akpom has previously been on loan deals with clubs like Brentford and Coventry City since joining the north London side in 2013.
