Sheffield Wednesday have signed Arsenal striker Benik Afobe on loan until the end of the season.

Afobe, 20, has yet to make his debut for the Gunners, but has previously appeared for Huddersfield, Reading, Bolton and Millwall during loan spells.

The Owls were looking for a striker to fill the gap left by England Under-21 international Connor Wickham, who was recalled by Sunderland on Monday.

Afobe could make his debut in Saturday's derby against Barnsley.
