Flashscore says he’s out with illness.Akpom isn't even on the bench for Ajax tonight.
Your problem is you think you’re always right and don’t like being challenged.Yes he was at arsenal never played there either. He risked it all for a punt that seems to have back fired.

Loan with an option to buy?What would it cost to loan him -
£40k/week for 18 weeks = £720k?
Arsenal 0 goalsI actually feel really sorry for him.
Journeyman career for a decade and even nearly discarded by us, until he gets a manager who tweaks his position and out of nowhere aged 27 has the best season of his career by far, wins Champo player of the year and the golden boot, plays unbelievably well.
Financial and status reality meant he had to move. I whinged about it a lot at the time but in truth we couldn’t afford to renew his contract for the level he was playing at and it would have been reckless for us. Gets an unbelievable move, and then is straight back to being messed around, played out of position even when he can get on the pitch.
I suppose he could have halved his wage demands and stayed here where he was loved and playing brilliantly, but 10 times out of 10 you’d take the bigger money and massive club. On reflection I don’t think it was possible for him to stay. He seems a remarkably nice, level headed and professional character as well, he’s not being dropped or sent to the Greek league on loan for off the pitch issues.
If we ever get promoted, I’m sure we’ll try and bring him back.
He was onto a good thing with us. Crazy how Ajax don’t rate him.. think he will go to Rennes.. probably wouldn’t come back. Doubt very much if we’d even have a sniff.Not sure why this is being talked about?
We sold him to Ajax. One of the best clubs in Europe. Top teams in top European leagues are being linked with him.
Why would he come back to us (assuming we could afford him anyway)?
Yes he was, but outgrown us now. Behind some top players at ajaxHe was onto a good thing with us. Crazy how Ajax don’t rate him.. think he will go to Rennes.. probably wouldn’t come back. Doubt very much if we’d even have a sniff.
In 1971 Ajax were - now I would put them on a par with Celtic or Rangers - not even in the top 30.Yeh crazy to leave the championship for one of Europes biggest clubs.
True, to a point. They are also still fairly regular champions league participants, injury time away from the final a couple of years ago. They are much bigger and richer than us.In 1971 Ajax were - now I would put them on a par with Celtic or Rangers - not even in the top 30.
Ajax are more a selling club to teams who are regular Champions League.
Go the streets of Lagos and the kids won't fight you for a Ajax shirt.
The big money in football is in England, Spain, Italy and France.
In 4 months he’ll be back in the Championship pining for the Riverside.Everton and Luton are interested in signing 28-year-old English forward Chuba Akpom on loan from Ajax. (Teamtalk)
Unless he joins the promotion party..In 4 months he’ll be back in the Championship pining for the Riverside.
