Arsenal striker Afobe happy with Huddersfield loan

Arsenal striker Benik Afobe is enjoying his loan spell at Huddersfield.

Afobe has put a recent injury behind him and started three of Huddersfield's last four games, scoring the opener against Rochdale to set his loan club on the way to an important 2-1 win on March 8.

"It would be nice to get promoted, it would be the first thing [I have achieved] in my first-team career," he told Arsenal.com. "It would be nice to do that and hopefully it will happen because I felt settled there after two weeks, it's getting better and better there.

"I've been training quite well recently, my injury has finished now so I am getting more of a chance. It's been hard because we have five strikers but I've been training well and the gaffer has been picking me. I just want to repay him by doing a job on the pitch.

"You want to be starting every game and when you start more games, you gain confidence and the goals come."
