Transfer: Akpom completes loan move to Ipswich Town

Chuba Akpom has completed a loan move to Ipswich Town for the season, making him the sixth signing for the Sky Bet Championship club this summer. The deal includes a mandatory purchase option, indicating Ipswich Town's ambition to secure his services permanently.

Akpom, who struggled since arriving at Middlesbrough two years ago from Ajax, spent the second half of last season on loan at French club Lille, where he scored three goals and registered one assist in 14 league appearances. The striker, who was the top scorer in the Championship two years ago while playing for Hull City, is returning to familiar territory with this move to Ipswich Town.

This transfer marks a fresh start for Akpom as he aims to regain his form and help Ipswich Town in their quest for promotion to the Premier League.
