About
Chuba Akpom is an English forward who plays for Ipswich Town. A product of Arsenal’s academy, he made a handful of senior appearances for the Gunners before numerous loan spells, then rebuilt his career abroad with PAOK Thessaloniki, where he won a Greek league and cup double and scored the winner in the 2019 Greek Cup final. A prolific 2022-23 campaign at Middlesbrough, where he netted 28 goals and claimed the Championship Golden Boot, earned a move to Ajax in 2023. After a stop-start time in the Eredivisie, he joined Ipswich Town on loan and made the switch permanent in 2026 following the club’s promotion to the Premier League, with Ipswich activating an option-to-buy clause. The 30-year-old is contracted at Portman Road until June 2026 and is reported to earn around £26,000 per week.
