Chuba Akpom to decide loan destination on Thursday?

Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom will decide on Thursday whether to join Bournemouth, Norwich City or Nottingham Forest on loan for the rest of the season, according to a report.

Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom will reportedly choose which Championship club he will go on loan to on Thursday morning.

Bournemouth, Norwich City, and Nottingham Forest have all offered the highly-rated 19-year-old the opportunity to join them for the remainder of the season, according to The Independent.

Akpom, who signed a new long-term contract with the Gunners in January, must decide his future before the loan deadline at 5pm on Thursday.

Forest and Norwich were the early favourites to sign the England Under-20 international, but league leaders Bournemouth are thought to have made a late approach.

Bournemouth and Norwich are looking to bolster their squads as they bid for promotion while Forest, who also have an outside chance of making the playoffs, are looking to fill the void left by Britt Assombalonga's absence with a serious knee injury.

Akpom has made seven substitute appearances for Arsenal this season.
