Chuba Akpom Scout Report
In our review of players from the Eredivisie league, Chuba Akpom stands out as a potent attacking force for Ajax. At 28, Akpom seems to have reached his prime, making the most of his capability in interesting and compelling ways. His statistics are eye-catching; the Englishman exhibits outstanding prowess as a goal threat with 100% efficacy, a trait complemented by his impressive goal efficiency, clocking in at 90.48%.
Akpom's role is not just confined to scoring; he also shows a robust knack for retaining possession, at a towering 90.48%, making him a reliable option for progressing play in crucial moments. His progressive passing ability is also notable, ranking at 77.78%. However, his relatively low ball recovery and chance creation rankings - 38.10% and 26.98% respectively - are areas inviting improvement.
Despite his exceptional goal scoring and ball retention skills, Akpom's sparse contributions to successful crosses - a shocking 2.42% - and modest dribbling success at just 22.58% are concerning and do raise questions about his versatility as a right winger. His dispossessions per game also rate alarmingly high at 87.1%, indicating a potential weakness under targeted pressure.
Overall, Akpom is a striking player with top-tier goal-scoring ability and ball retention skills. Despite some glaring deficits that may require attention, his dominant presence in the attacking third is undeniably a significant asset to his team.
