Confirmed: Norwich City loan target Akpom joins Nottingham Forest
Norwich City have missed out on the loan signing of Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom, with the forward joining Nottingham Forest instead.
The Canaries had been heavily linked with a move for the England under 20s star, and were said to have held talks with him last weekend.
However, Akpom has now moved to the City Ground until May 31.
The news comes as a blow for Norwich who are looking for extra firepower to cover for the loss of injured forward Lewis Grabban ahead of tonight's 5pm loan deadline.
