Bees not in the running to sign Akpom

Brentford are not currently interested in signing Chuba Akpom on loan from Arsenal.

The Bees have been linked with the Gunners forward, who spent time on loan at Griffin Park in 2014, but he is not currently among their transfer targets.

Fulham have also been linked with the 21-year-old, who ended last season on loan at Hull City.

Brentford’s main target this month is Sergi Canos and discussions with Norwich City over a potential deal are continuing.
