“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.”
 
If it's true that we are confident of a couple, maybe this akpom stuff is days old, could be him?
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.

Hope it is Akpom like, he is now "on the verge of leaving" according to Telegraaf
 
True, i'd say it sounds a bit more advanced than that though

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.

I think them signing Whittaker rules them out unless they are greedy haha.

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.

They'd made about 15m profit the season before though, think that covered most of the summer gone.

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
