Arsenal offload youngster with 'champion mentality' to Qatar 

Arsenal are set to offload midfielder Tim Akinola with Qatari side Al Bidda SC allegedly poised to announce his arrival.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Al Bidda SC will be Akinola’s new club and he will be unveiled as a permanent signing very soon.

He added that the youngster has agreed a three-year deal with the club as he brings his time at Arsenal to an end.

After starting out with Lincoln City, Akinola moved on to Huddersfield Town and then Arsenal in 2020.

Akinola was never able to make a first-team appearance for the Gunners but did spend time out on loan at Dundee United and Chesterfield.

Now 22, Arsenal’s former head of emerging talent Yousuf Sajjad told Football London in 2021 that he feels Akinola has a ‘champion mentality’.
