Another bench appearance
Akpom recorded one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Akpom would once again make an appearance from the bench for Ipswich, getting a 12-minute cameo to end the contest. This gives the forward his fifth appearance of the season, still having yet to start a game. However, he still has a goal, earning a goal from the bench in their second contest of the season.
Signs permanently until 2029
Akpom has joined Ipswich Town on a permanent basis from Ajax until 2029 after a purchase clause was triggered during his loan spell, the club announced.
Analysis: Akpom made 31 appearances during the promotion-winning Championship campaign, scoring important goals against Hull City and Oxford United in vital victories as the Blues secured their return to the Premier League. Akpom's permanent signing rewards a solid contribution to one of the most successful seasons in the club's recent history and gives Ipswich an experienced attacking option heading into the top flight.
