Sheffield United, the newly-promoted Premier League club, is keen on securing the services of Nigerian striker Chuba Akpom from Middlesbrough during this summer transfer window.
Akpom had an outstanding season with Middlesbrough in the Championship, scoring an impressive 28 goals and setting a new record for the highest number of league goals in the club's history.
Despite his prolific form, Middlesbrough fell short in their promotion bid as they were eliminated in the playoffs.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation surrounding Akpom's future has been rife.
While he expressed a desire to remain at the club, talks of a potential transfer have not subsided, and Everton and Crystal Palace have emerged as potential suitors as they search for attacking reinforcements. However, no concrete offers have been made yet.
Reports indicate that Sheffield United is now seriously interested in acquiring Akpom's services.
The 27-year-old striker could be a cost-effective option for the Blades, as Middlesbrough would likely prefer to avoid losing him for free next summer. The potential transfer fee is estimated to be in the range of €8-12 million.
As the transfer window progresses, the race to sign Chuba Akpom continues, and his next destination remains uncertain.
Sheffield United's interest adds an interesting dimension to the ongoing negotiations, making Akpom's future one of the intriguing storylines in the current transfer market.
