Middlesbrough striker Chuba Akpom admits he wants a Premier League return amid interest from Everton.

Akpom, who rose through the ranks at Arsenal as a youngster, made a handful of top-flight appearances for the Gunners but was unable to establish himself as a long-term first-team option.

Discussing his ambitions for the future in an interview with Sky Sports, Akpom said: “I feel like this last year or two I've probably developed the most in my career.

"I've shown a willingness to learn and improve my game. I feel hungrier than ever before. You're never too old to learn and grow

“I want to play in the Premier League, it's where the best play and it's a dream I've always had."
