Arsenal teen Chuba Akpom is pleased with his progress this season.

Akpom first played for the Under-18s when he was just 15.

Now 16, he told arsenal.com: "Perhaps I was being too ambitious because I am still at school, but I began the season hoping to become a regular starters.

"I have made 15 appearances in all, which is very good for me in that I feel fully prepared to hit the ground running next season when I begin as an Academy scholar. I suppose that this season has been a very good warm-up."
