Arsenal offer Akpom new three-year deal.

Postby AFC10 » Wed Jan 14, 2015 12:25 am

Arsenal have offered Chuba Akpom a new three-year deal as they try to keep the 19-year-old striker at the club.

Akpom, who has made three first-team appearances this year, has six months remaining on his Arsenal deal and is therefore allowed to speak to interested foreign clubs.

Feyenoord, FC Twente and Borussia Dortmund made Akpom offers to join in the summer and there is also interest from Premier League clubs.

Akpom, who will stay for the rest of the season after the departures of Lukas Podolski and Yaya Sanogo this month, is understood to be weighing up where he would have the most first-team opportunities while negotiations continue.

Arsenal were last night close to completing a deal for Legia Warsaw teenager Krystian Bielik. Hamburg were also interested in the 17-year-old holding midfielder but Arsenal, who had an opening bid rejected, were close to offering Legia’s £2.5million asking price.

Great news! We need to tie him down ASAP before teams get onto him.

He's been tearing teams apart at U18 and U21 level for some time now. He should go out on loan to a Championship/League 1 side for the remainder of the season and then let him out on loan again to a PL club to give him his breakthrough.

He's definitely got the potential and talent so I hope he makes it here.

Would have rather kept both. But Akpom is good, nice to see we're trying to keep him. Hope he gets chances this season and next

Good.
Hope he signs, but would have preferred if he was tied down to a contract before now.
Can see this guy making it.

Why do we leave it so late, or rather why does Wenger leave it so late? Surely he has known for the last 6 months at least if he wants to keep him. Now he can talk to other clubs and his head could easily be turned.

Yep, Akpom > Sanogo any day. He's great at making runs, one thing he does need to get better at is finishing... Misses too many easy chances.
