I know Akpom is quick but he never struck me as someone that would be faster than Walcott or Bellerin. Surprised he now holds the current record

10m is a very short distance, Walcott and Bellerin will smash him in an actual sprint. I'm all for trying out youngsters though, need to get either him or Sanogo out on loan within 12 months though.
Follow me on twitter @JordanLovesey!

The only proven winner in red and white at this club? Arsene Wenger. Sack the board.

Must have a great burst but like Crimson said, after watching him play live, he doesn't seem to have top end to match the burst, but yeah hope he makes it

Thats all he needs if he learns to play off the shoulder.

Get in front of his man and draw the foul/get in on goal.

He looks a natural striker too, hopefully he gets a chance on loan for a small team in the prem.

Akpom came on with 10 minutes to go and scored twice to make it 3-2 for the England U20s.

When is Wenger finally going to give him a chance instead of Sanogo?
