Chuba Akpom is keen on a return to England after spending just eight months in the Eredivisie with Ajax.

The Nigerian-born forward linked up with Ajax from Sky Bet Championship club, Middlesbrough last summer.

Ajax paid €14.3m for the former Arsenal player.


As per Sportswitness UK, Akpom is looking to leave Ajax in the summer, with Fulham and Nottingham Forest linked with the striker.

Akpom has been limited to just five starts at Ajax with nine goals and one assist to his name.

More Premier League clubs are expected to show interest in the striker before the end of the season.

Former Real Madrid youth player Dani Lorenzo has made it clear he is not a millionaire.

The player recently became an internet sensation due to a viral video capturing his interaction with a fan.

It happened after Malaga CF beat Atletico Madrid B 1-0 on Sunday.


Lorenzo found himself in the spotlight for an exchange that showcased both the passion of football fans and the humility of players.

One supporter seized the opportunity to ask Lorenzo for his coveted match-worn shirt.

However, Dani Lorenzo politely explained that he was unable to give his away due to the club’s policies regarding the distribution of shirts.

Despite the initial refusal, the dedicated fan persisted and offered a meaningful gift that surprised everyone.

Pulling out a 50-euro note from his pocket, the fan offered to buy Lorenzo’s shirt.

Taken aback but moved by the fan’s genuineness, Lorenzo took the money and finished the trade.

The moment was captured by television cameras and subsequently shared on the popular sports program El Chiringuito.

Lorenzo took a moment to reflect on the incident after the game.

“It happened so fast. Just so people understand, we’re in Primera RFEF, I’m not a millionaire, I wish I were,” he told Tribuna.

“We’re given a limited number of shirts to give away, and I had already distributed mine.

“After that, the club charges us for additional shirts.

“Now, upon reflection, I realize I shouldn’t have taken it, I did it with all the good faith in the world, and I hope people understand.”

The English Premier League is losing the race for one extra Champions League place to the German Bundesliga.

This follows the elimination of Arsenal and Manchester City on Wednesday night.

In the reformatted edition of the Champions League from next season, the two countries with the highest co-efficient will be given an extra group-stage place.

Each win is worth two coefficient points, a draw gets one, and zero for a defeat.

There are also bonus points for getting to certain stages.

Heading into this week’s matches, English clubs were ahead of their German counterparts, but only on countback with the two countries locked on the same coefficient points.

But Bayern Munich beat Arsenal and Real Madrid knocked out City. Borussia Dortmund also eliminated Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, meaning Germany have moved ahead of England on points.

England will now be praying for a miracle from West Ham and Liverpool on Thursday night, who have to turn around their ties against Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta, to have any hope of catching Germany.
