Wenger Lavishes Praise On Chuba Akpom

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is impressed by teenage striker Chuba Akpom.<br /><br />Akpom has already scored three goals for Noel Blake&rsquo;s England Under-19 side this season, and has forced himself into Terry Burton&rsquo;s Arsenal Under-21 side. <br /><br />&ldquo;He has personality [and] he has quality,&rdquo; Wenger told Arsenal Player.<br /><br />&ldquo;I wanted him to be with the first team, taste what it is [to be involved] in a Champions League game, and hopefully he will join us very quickly. It could happen very soon.<br /><br />&ldquo;He&rsquo;s more a guy who likes to participate in the build up, a guy who is brave, a guy who makes good runs and is not a typical goal chaser.<br /><br />&ldquo;Where he must improve is to finish things off. But he creates for others, he creates for himself, and just needs to be a bit calmer for the finishing. That&rsquo;s something he will get easily."<br /><b><br />-Thanks to Tribalfootball.com</b><br />
