Leeds United have been linked with Arsenal forward Chuba Akpom to replace Chris Wood.

Leeds United fans appear to be divided over whether Arsenal forward Chuba Akpom would be a good signing to replace Chris Wood.

Leeds have been linked with Akpom in The Sun today, with Thomas Christiansen’s side believed to be admirers of the Arsenal man.

The Whites are said to be in competition with Celtic for the 21-year-old’s signature, which could make their task of convincing the England youth international to move to Elland Road a tough one.

And Leeds fans appear to have differing opinions on whether a move for Akpom would be worthwhile.

Andrea Radrizzani has stressed the the money raised from Wood’s sale will be invested back into Leeds’ team, and a striker is likely to be on Christiansen’s wish list.

Leeds look short of options up-front, following Wood’s departure, and signing a new front man will be a priority.

Akpom has previously had loan spells at the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion, Hull City and Nottingham Forest, but has never been a prolific scorer.
