Birmingham City is reportedly interested in acquiring the services of 29-year-old English forward Chuba Akpom on a season-long loan. Ajax, while preferring a permanent transfer, is contemplating a loan arrangement that includes an option to purchase, as they are keen to reduce his substantial salary burden for at least a year. Akpom, who made the move to Ajax from Middlesbrough for an alleged €12.3 million, holds a contract with the Dutch team until June 2028, with his current market value estimated at €7 million by Transfermarkt. Reports suggest that Birmingham City has initiated discussions with Ajax regarding the potential loan deal. The forward was on loan at OSC Lille last season, and with recent links to Turkish club Samsunspor, Ajax is increasingly inclined towards finding a more permanent resolution to his future at the club.
