Carrick speaks out on Chuba Akpom’s Middlesbrough situation as Sheffield United take interest
August 4, 2023
Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick says he’s ‘relaxed’ abut Chuba Akpom’s future at the club, as speculation regarding his future persists.
Akpom remains in transfer headlines following his standout 2022/23 season in the Championship. His 28-goal haul in the Championship lifted Boro to the play-off places and earned himself the league’s Golden Boot and Player of the Season awards.
He’s now in the final year of his contract at the Riverside, though. The Northern Echo say that Middlesbrough have been in negotiations over a possible renewal but no new contract is yet to be agreed upon.
And Akpom’s situation continues to alert Premier League teams with Sheffield United the latest to show an interest in the ex-Arsenal man.
