Afobe included in squad for Germany

Teenage striker Benik Afobe has been included in Arsenal’s squad for the pre-season training camp in Germany.

After excelling in the Reserves at the beginning of last season, the clinical frontman was thrust into the rigours of League football and spent the majority of the campaign on loan at Huddersfield Town.

Pacy and direct, he was a revelation in the North-West, scoring eight times in 36 appearances during his time at the Galpharm Stadium, and played an important role as the Terriers reached the League One Play-Off Final.

He signed a contract extension with Arsenal in June.

Follow youngsters Conor Henderson and Emmanuel Frimpong have also been included in the squad.
