Heard that Akpom is available.
Didn`t he score a bucket load of goals for Boro when he played for them?
Not sure about his current form but based on his past he would be ideal.
Stats can be misleading, but he’s really struggled at Premier League level. You wouldn’t buy him and expect him to do a job next season if we go up based on his Sheff Utd, Villa and Southampton stats. He’s done okay at Championship level, which is obviously where we are, and he may see us over the line if we sign him now. It’s like I said in a previous post, how much would we spend on a player that is realistically a decent Championship player that may not cut the mustard 6 months later at a higher level ? His P.L stats may not be a true reflection of a forward playing in teams that have been on the back foot, but he didn’t manage a goal for Villa in 10 games and was then deemed not good enough for them. I haven’t seen the lad play, so if we sign him let’s hope he’s the difference between scrabbling for a top two spot and putting our foot on the accelerator.
