Chuba Amechi Akpom

Chuba Akpom attacks space and times his runs to stretch defenses for Ipswich Town. He checks short then spins in behind. Chuba Akpom began at Arsenal in 2012-13, before sealing a Greek Cup Final win for PAOK in 2018-19. A 2022-23 surge at Middlesbrough saw 28 goals and earned the Championship Player of the Year. In 2023 he moved to Ajax, then spent time on loan at Lille before returning to England with Ipswich in 2025. Chuba Akpom's forward game is built on finishing moves, linking play with short layoffs, and high pressing to create turnovers. In the final third, Akpom attacks the back post and drives at defenders to finish. England is his international note.
