Once I get first Arsenal goal, there’ll be no stopping me.
‘Football is the football, but it takes time to adapt,’ he told L’Equipe. ‘When you come out of Ligue 2 and you end up in a duel with [Man City's Vincent] Kompany, it is not an easy task.
‘On all aspects (of my game) I’ve evolved. When you train with great players every day, you progress. When you play big teams, it helps gain experience.
‘The fans expect me to score more, but once the first one goes in they’ll come.
‘At 21, it’s not easy to play striker at Arsenal. You have to fight every day to prove your worth. But Wenger just pushes me to continue my work will eventually pay off.’

Watching the u21 match, Dan Crowley is a huge prospect for arsenal and diaby 70% to full fitness already. Akpom on the other hand is kinda greedy, alot of opportunity to assist but he went for it anyway. Maybe thats the trait of a stricker, i dunno.
Dan Crowley is a real gem. In few years he will surpass JW.
