By Wale Mustapha
Nigerian-born forward Chuba Akpom finds himself at a crossroads, pondering a potential return to English football after a brief stint in the Dutch Eredivisie with Ajax.
Having made the move to Ajax from Middlesbrough last summer in a lucrative four-year deal valued at approximately €15 million, the 29-year-old striker is now evaluating his options for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Reports from Sportswitness UK suggest that Akpom is eyeing a departure from Ajax, with clubs like Fulham and Nottingham Forest expressing interest in securing his services.
Despite his considerable experience, Akpom has found regular playing time hard to come by at Ajax, with just five starts under his belt. Nevertheless, his contribution to the team has been notable, having tallied an impressive nine goals and one assist during his time in the Eredivisie.
As the season progresses, it is anticipated that more Premier League clubs will join the race to acquire the services of the talented striker, adding further intrigue to his potential return to English football.
Akpom’s imminent decision promises to be a pivotal moment in his career, as he weighs the prospect of a fresh start in familiar surroundings against the allure of continental football with Ajax.
