For the first time in his 16-year career with Arsenal, Hale End Academy product Chuba Akpom has been loaned out to a club outside the United Kingdom, with Belgian club Sint-Truidense completing his loan move.
The former England U21 international previously enjoyed loan spells at Coventry City, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Hull City and Brighton & Hove Albion.

This season, he has made seven Premier League appearances and six Europa League appearances, scoring twice.
Finally, former Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo has ended his association with Crystal Palace by joining
League One side Southend United for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old made his debut for the Eagles at Manchester United earlier this season.
