Transfer: Middlesbrough sign Akpom from Greek side

The 24-year-old completed his move to the Boro for an undisclosed fee after successful medicals with the side.

Akpom thus became the fourth summer signing for the Riverside Stadium outfit following the arrival of Egypt international Sam Morsy, Marcus Bettinelli, and Grant Hall.

The forward will also link up with the Democratic Republic of the Congo striker Britt Assombalonga at the club.

Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock has expressed his delight with the signing of the Nigerian forward, whom he has scouted for a long time.

“I’m delighted to finally have got him. He’s been my number one choice. I’ve wanted him for a long time. I’d like to give a big thanks to Neil Bausor for getting it done,” Warnock told the club website.

“I told him what we were doing at the club and right from day one, he wanted to come, and I’m delighted.”
