EPL: Luton Town ready to take Chuba Akpom from Middlesbrough

Newly-promoted Premier League side, Luton Town, want to sign Chuba Akpom from Middlesbrough.

They are expected to establish contact with the Championship team with the sole aim of signing the forward, according to Football League World.

Akpom, who has a year remaining on his contract with Boro, is expected to leave the club following their failure to secure promotion to the Premier League.

The 27-year-old scored 29 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions for Michael Carrick’s side last season.

The Nigerian was top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship and was also named Player of the Season.

Crystal Palace and Everton are also reportedly interested in Akpom.
