Chuba Akpom Scout Report

In this scout report, we delve into the intriguing style of play of Chuba Akpom, currently plying his trade as a striker for Ajax in the Eredivisie. Akpom’s exceptional ball retention skills rank amongst the highest in the league, showcasing his ability to keep possession under pressure, which is crucial for maintaining attack momentum. His knack for progressive carrying is also standout, suggesting a forward eager to drive at defences, a trait further highlighted by his commendable dribbling capabilities. However, his goal threat and efficiency are relatively subdued, reflected by his lower rankings in shots and goals per 90 minutes. This implies that while he’s involved in play and frequently finds himself on the ball, converting these chances into goals remains an area for improvement. His passing accuracy is impeccable, often ensuring Ajax retains possession with remarkable assuredness, but the moderate chance creation statistic indicates a need for more incisive play in the final third. Although Akpom possesses several pivotal strengths in maintaining and progressing the ball, enhancing his offensive output would elevate his contributions significantly.
