Chuba Akpom will become a permanent Ipswich Town player on July 1, 2026, after the club's promotion to the Premier League triggered a mandatory €9 million (£7 million) clause in his loan agreement with Ajax. The 30-year-old forward will sign a three-year contract, extending his stay at Portman Road until 2029. Akpom joined Ipswich on a season-long loan in August 2025, making 29 appearances during the 2025/26 campaign, mostly from the bench. He started just seven matches and scored two goals, with his final start and goal coming in a 3-0 victory over Oxford United on New Year's Day. Despite limited playing time, Akpom turned down other offers to commit to Ipswich, who secured promotion to England's top flight.
