The Club Signs Striker Chuba Akpom on Season-Long Loan from Ajax
The Club is delighted to confirm the signing of talented striker Chuba Akpom on a season-long loan from Dutch giants AFC Ajax. The 28-year-old forward arrives with a proven track record of goalscoring and an impressive career that has taken him across England, Greece, and the Netherlands.
Akpom, a product of Arsenal’s esteemed academy, first made his senior debut for the Gunners as a teenager, before gaining valuable experience through loan spells in the English Football League. He later moved abroad, joining PAOK in Greece, where he played a crucial role in their domestic success, helping the club to a league and cup double in the 2018–19 season.
His prolific form in the 2022–23 campaign with Middlesbrough, where he finished as the Championship’s top scorer with 28 league goals, caught the attention of Ajax. Since moving to the Eredivisie in 2023, Akpom has showcased his versatility and technical quality, adapting to a new league and European competition.
The Club believes Akpom’s combination of physical presence, sharp movement, and clinical finishing will be a significant asset for the coming season. Head Coach [Manager’s Name] praised the signing, saying:
> “Chuba is a player who brings both experience and hunger. He has a proven record in front of goal, but he also works hard for the team. His adaptability and professionalism make him an ideal addition to our squad.”
Akpom himself expressed excitement about the move:
> “I’m really happy to be here and can’t wait to get started. The Club has big ambitions this season, and I want to contribute as much as I can – scoring goals, creating chances, and helping the team achieve success. I’ve heard great things about the supporters, and I’m looking forward to playing in front of them.”
The loan deal includes no recall clause, ensuring Akpom will be available for the entirety of the 2025–26 campaign. He will join the squad immediately for training and could make his debut in the upcoming fixture against [Next Opponent].
Supporters will get their first chance to see Akpom in action at home later this month. Tickets for the match are available now through the Club’s official channels.
Everyone at the Club welcomes Chuba Akpom and wishes him a successful season ahead in our colours.
