Arsenal forward Chuba Akpom to sign deal with PAOK?

PAOK have reportedly won the race to sign Arsenal forward Chuba Akpom.

The former England Under-21 international progressed through the academy setup with the Gunners, but just 12 appearances have come in the first team.

The 22-year-old spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at Sint-Truiden, and the Belgian side had been expected to complete a permanent deal for the player.

However, according to Goal.com, Akpom will instead move to Greece in a deal said to be worth in the region of £2m.

The striker is expected to finalise the move in the next 24 hours, with PAOK becoming the eighth side of his professional career.
