Akpom: Middlesbrough sign Nigerian and former Arsenal forward

Championship side Middlesbrough have announced the signing of Chuba Akpom from Greek Super League club PAOK Thessaloniki.

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

Akpom thus became the fourth summer signing of 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.
