7 players who need to spend the next season on loan

5) Chuba Akpom

Arsenal’s search for a striker continues after Jamie Vardy rejected the Gunners earlier in the summer. Now Lyon have turned down a bid from the club for their star striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Many are suggesting Chuba Akpom can fill those boots but at 20, he still has a long way to go before becoming a top class striker. Akpom has shown a lot of promise but is still not an established forward.

The youngster needs work on his finishing and although he did have a decent spell with Hull City last season there is a lot of room for improvement. Wenger will send him out on loan once again this season and you might feel this year will be make or break for him.
