“STERDAM - Chuba Akpom (29) is about to leave Ajax. The striker, who is currently one of the big earners in the selection, can choose from Fiorentina, Lille and Sunderland and is loaned with an option to buy. Leicester City dropped out.”
That's just what I was going to type re: delayed news. Leicester could have dropped out a day or two back and we're in an advanced position.
According to those tweets is as advanced as us having made a bit Ajax are willing to accept. Boro could call them up and make exactly the same bid in 5 minutes.
Think they spent a canny wedge in the summer plus Whittaker deal is up to about £8m with add ons, I’d be surprised but stranger things have happened in football!
Think I'd lean towards Archer over Akpom if both are possibilities. Akpom deal would surprise me if its permanent in any capacity. Would be a big outlay for us fee and wage wise and with him being 29, it would be out of the norm for us. Think Archer makes more sense in that regard.
Don’t think it was that much mate was it? I know they sold Akpom and Rogers they brought in Lathh, Azaz and a few others for decent fees I think. Was that Morris last season or this? I’m sure he was about £5m anarl
