Chuba Akpom, the newly acquired striker for Ajax, is setting his sights on achieving significant milestones with the Dutch giants following his move from Middlesbrough.

Akpom was signed for an initial fee of €12.3 million, with the potential to increase to €14.3 million based on performance-related variables.

In his first press conference with the club, the 27-year-old expressed his enthusiasm for his new opportunity and displayed confidence in his ability to contribute to Ajax’s legacy of success.

Akpom is eager to add to Ajax’s impressive record of 36 Dutch Eredivisie titles and four UEFA Champions League victories.

“It’s a very historical club, hopefully, I can create some history here,” he told the club website.

“The name says a lot, when you put on this jersey, what it represents, the history and the success that club has achieved and what the club stands for, I respect that and I am ready to push the club forward.”
