Chuba Akpom

AI Scouting Report

Akpom arrives in the Championship as a physical attacker whose best work happens in the margins—the contested header, the held-up ball, the duel that buys his team a second chance. His aerial and ground duel win rates both sit in the top 20% of Championship forwards, which tells you something important: this is a man who competes. The counterintuitive read here is his passing volume—25 passes per 90 with above-average accuracy suggests a forward far more involved in build-up than his goal return implies. That 0.20 goals per 90 looks modest, but with 2.35 shots per 90 above the positional average, the chances are coming; the conversion simply isn't following yet.
