Scroll down a little to the Portugal section where he is currently playing on loan from Arsenal. As with most rumours there is probably little or no substance but at least a player that we could get mildly excited about?

Haven't seen him play since he had half a good season with Arsenal a year or 2 back, seemed like he might force his way in on a regular basis but another young talent forced to go out on loan. Unless he's gone backwards recently it could potentially be a good signing!

' The Portuguese side have no interest in keeping the Costa Rican after this season. (O Jogo)' seems pertinent

Only he's played almost 150 games of top flight across Europe including Champions League, Akpom came with reservations about how well he did in a Hull team playing in the Championship. Otherwise yeah, the same.

The Chuba Akpom signing may well have proved fruitful given time. Unfortuantely, as is often the case with half season loan deals, he just didn't get given enough game time, to find out.

Only people who haven't watched both Akpom and Campbell would have expected that.

Campbell was VERY unlucky to not cut it at Arsenal. A very dangerous player when confidence is flowing.

But still, don't let me stop the generalisations.

Remember he was very good at the the Brazil World Cup and my mate who is a Gooner rated him quite highly. No idea what he's been up to since he left Arse though

The few times I have seen him play, he has looked lively and dangerous. I think he could be a good fit to the teams system.

Thought he was primarily a winger? If so not sure he's what we need although he did show flashes of ability. If he's a central striker then that's a bit different. We need another option with genuine pace through the middle.

Brilliant signing if we could make it happen. He suits us as someone who can play out wide or upfront and is a hard worker. Fairly likely arsenal will sell as well because hes been out on loan a few times and its likely they'll have an overhaul this summer whether its with wenger or someone else.

I wonder how he would benefit from a pre season with us?
He MUST have something or Arsenal would have dumped him by now.

The one thing Arsene is incapable of doing.
You're talking about a manager who has offered Jack Wiltshire another contract.
