Arsenal striker Benik Afobe hoping for first team chance

Arsenal striker Benik Afobe hopes to see senior action with the Gunners this season.

Afobe spent last term on loan at Huddersfield Town but has set his sights on breaking through at Arsenal this season, though he knows it will be tough.

"My aim is to play for Arsenal's first team," he told Arsenal Player. "I'm not thinking too far beyond that but we will have to see what the boss thinks is best for me.

When the pre-season games are finished we will talk about what is going to happen with me. I'm delighted with how the pre-season has gone so far.

"The more I train with them and the more time I spend with them, I get more comfortable with the team. I feel relaxed with all the lads.

"They are a young group so it is much easier for me and I can speak to quite a few of the lads in the team."
