After his first start this season at
Akpom started in Arsenal’s English Football League Cup4-0 thrashing away at Nottingham Foreston Tuesday, September 20.
The 20-year-old who impressed in the win is eager to get more actions for Arsenal and don’t even mind playing in goal to ensure that.
"I think right now I’d play anywhere, I’d play in goal just to get minutes, just to be involved in the team. I didn’t mind playing on the wing," Akpom told Arsenal Player magazine after the match.
"I’ll play anywhere the boss wants me to play, but against Nottingham Forest, it was still an attacking position and I just tried to be as much of a threat as I could.
"Hopefully, more games and more minutes. The feeling of just going out there with an Arsenal top on and just playing is the best feeling and that’s the feeling that I want to have, so I’ve just got to keep working hard in training and keep working hard to just get out there and get as many minutes as I can.”
Arsenal’s next fixture is a Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday, September 24.
