Olympique Marseille has shown significant interest in acquiring Chuba Akpom. His future at Ajax is uncertain, largely due to the possible return of Carlos Forbs. Akpom, who also has the option to move to England, is under close observation by Leicester City, where he might have the opportunity to play under Ruud van Nistelrooij. It is reported that Ajax's technical director, Alex Kroes, is dealing with challenges such as limited financial resources and FIFA regulations, which permit only one player to be loaned out at a time. The potential return of Forbs could result in Akpom's departure, as he is currently utilized as a makeshift left winger at Ajax, with Brian Brobbey and Wout Weghorst preferred in the striker position. This situation amplifies Marseille's interest in Akpom, as they are eager to secure his services amidst competition from other clubs.
