Akpom is prepared to leave Ajax to play regular football

Chuba Akpom has said that he is not prepared to be Ajax’s backup for another season, the Eredivisie powerhouses.

The striker, who was born in Nigeria, teamed up with Middlesbrough, a Sky Bet Championship team that was the last European champion, last summer.

However, Akpom found it difficult to establish himself in the club’s first squad.

In 2023–2024, the 28-year-old played primarily as a substitute.

In 36 games for Ajax, the Arsenal Academy alumnus scored 15 goals and contributed three assists.

Akpom, who has been connected to a move back to England, stated that if things don’t change, he will have to search for work elsewhere.
