Chuba Akpom has emerged as a target for PAOK, with coach Lucescu reportedly preferring him due to his familiarity with the player's abilities. The main challenge lies in finding a way for Akpom to exit Ajax, where he is under contract until at least the summer, despite his limited appearances. Akpom, who is well-known to PAOK from his previous tenure, is considered an ideal addition to strengthen their attack during the winter transfer window. Negotiations are underway to formulate a deal that would enable Akpom to return to PAOK, overcoming the contractual ties with Ajax. The objective is to bring him back to Toumba as part of PAOK's efforts to enhance their forward options.
