Leicester City, managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, are preparing documents to sign Chuba Akpom from Ajax. The transfer is being expedited with the hope that Akpom could be available for Leicester's weekend game against Everton. Akpom has extensive experience in English football, having played for several clubs including Arsenal and Middlesbrough. He has made an impressive 170 goal or assist contributions in his career.

Leicester City is very concrete in their interest to hire Chuba Akpom. He could play under Ruud van Nistelrooij at Leicester. Akpom, currently at Ajax, is being considered for a loan move as Ajax aims to make space for a potential return of Carlos Forbs. The 29-year-old Englishman is also attracting interest from Sunderland and Olympique Marseille. At Ajax, Akpom's opportunities have become limited due to the preference for other players in the forward positions.
