chuba akpom transfer update nigerian forward left in limbo as lille and ajax close doors

Chuba Akpom is facing an uncertain future this summer after both Ajax and Lille made it clear he is not part of their long-term plans, Soccernet.ng reports .

The 29-year-old Nigerian striker, who joined Ajax from Middlesbrough for just over 12 million in 2023, spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Ligue 1 side Lille.

Despite scoring three goals - including a last-gasp winner in a 2-1 victory over Reims on the final day of the season - and providing one assist in 14 appearances, Lille have opted not to activate a permanent deal for the former Arsenal academy graduate.

That decision has left Akpom in limbo, with Ajax also reportedly instructing him to find a new club.

According to De Telegraaf via AjaxShowTime , Ajax have placed Akpom and four other players on the transfer list as they no longer feature in the plans of new sporting director Alex Kroes.
