Ipswich Town Football Club has officially announced the permanent signing of Chuba Akpom, as confirmed by DAILY POST. The striker, who spent the previous season on loan at Portman Road from Ajax Amsterdam, has now made his switch to the newly promoted Premier League side permanent.
The deal was triggered following Ipswich Town’s promotion to the English top flight. Akpom, aged 30, has committed his future to the club by signing a three-year contract that will keep him at Portman Road until the summer of 2029.
During his loan spell, the former Middlesbrough frontman made 30 appearances in the Championship, finding the back of the net on two occasions. His experience and goal-scoring ability are expected to bolster Ipswich’s attacking options as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
Akpom had been on the books at Ajax for three years after arriving from Middlesbrough in 2023. Now, he embarks on a new chapter with the Tractor Boys, who have secured his services on a long-term basis.
