Chuba Akpom is anticipated to depart from Ajax during this transfer window, according to De Telegraaf. The 29-year-old forward, recognized as one of the highest earners in Amsterdam, is considering options from Fiorentina, Lille OSC, and Sunderland, with the final decision being his. Akpom is currently the third-choice striker, following Brian Brobbey and Wout Weghorst, and has limited playing opportunities under coach Francesco Farioli, typically playing on the left wing when he starts. Ajax plans to loan him with an option for a permanent transfer. Akpom had previously communicated his wish to leave Ajax to the club's management. With his departure, Ajax's technical director, Alex Kroes, is making use of the final international loan spot, complying with FIFA and KNVB regulations that restrict clubs to six loaned players, not counting those trained at the club.
