Scores late consolation goal in 5-2 loss

Akpom scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 5-2 defeat versus Manchester United.

Analysis: Akpom scored his first goal of the season from his only shot so far. He has come off the bench in both games so far this season. Last year he only started seven games in the Championship and ended the season with just two goals.

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.
