Chuba Akpom, seeking a resurgence after a challenging debut season at Ajax, expresses interest in returning to English football, with Fulham and Nottingham Forest reportedly keen on securing his services.
Akpom’s €14.3 million move to Ajax last summer promised a fresh start, but after just eight months, the 28-year-old desires a change, despite his contract extending until 2028.
Limited to a mere five league starts and 749 minutes of league action, Akpom’s optimism waned as opportunities dwindled at Ajax.
Sportswitness UK links Fulham and Nottingham Forest to the Nigerian striker, eyeing a potential summer transfer.
Despite his sparse appearances, Akpom’s impact remains notable, contributing to ten goals for Ajax, scoring nine and creating one.
Akpom’s plight mirrors that of Calvin Bassey, who struggled to make an impact at Ajax before a move to Fulham ensued, indicating a pattern of challenges faced by players transitioning to Dutch football.
As Akpom seeks a return to familiar grounds, the Premier League awaits his potential resurgence amidst a backdrop of newfound determination and opportunity.
