Middlesbrough have exercised a 12-month contract extension option on striker Chuba Akpom, boss Michael Carrick has confirmed.
The 27-year-old joined the Teessiders from Greek side PAOK in September 2020 on a three-year deal, which will now run out in the summer of 2024.
Akpom was loaned back to PAOK last term but has been a regular for Boro under Carrick, with 13 goals in 20 games.
"He's our player and he's been terrific," Carrick said.
"Since I've come through the door he's been terrific, he's been getting the headlines for scoring goals but he's given us a lot more than that.
