Gunners recalls young Nigerian from loan spell

Arsenal have recalled Nigerian born Striker Chuba Akpom from his loan spell at League one side Coventry City.
 
Akpom might find himself closer to the Arsenal first team following Nicholas Bendtner's recent disciplinary problems and top striker Olivier Giroud's poor form, but he first of all have to contend with battling to be the gunner's second choice striker with Yaya Sanogo.
 
Despite representing England at all youth levels up to the U19, he is still eligible to play for Nigeria and he impressed during Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia, scoring four goals before he debuted in the premier League and also got a run out against West Brom in the capital one cup.
 
Akpom will depart Coventry after making five apperances but with no goal to show for his endeavours, but has been a regular goal scorer for the Arsenal youth team while on loan scoring in their 4-2 loss to Chelsea in the Youth Champions league and their Youth cup victory over Everton.
