Luton Town amongst Premier League interest in Chuba Akpom

Luton Town are among six Premier League clubs reportedly interested in signing Nigeria-eligible forward, Chuba Akpom.

Akpom enjoyed a career-best season in a 22/23 campaign that saw him score 29 goals for Middlesbrough.

According to Football League World sources, Rob Edwards is looking to bring Akpom to the Hatters as he tries to add extra firepower to his side ahead of their campaign in the Premier League.

The Nigerian scored twice in two games against Luton Town across two seasons.

His goals helped Middlesbrough to finish fourth in the Championship, missing out on a place in the play-off final as a result of a narrow defeat to Coventry City.

There has been interest in Akpom with up to six Premier League clubs reporting expressing interest back in March.

According to talkSPORT, Everton, Leeds United and Crystal Palace are among half-dozen sides looking at boosting their attacks.
