During the 2023 summer transfer window, Chuba Akpom had given the green light to join the RC Lens and strengthen the attack on the Sang and Gold. But his agent finally played on two tables, a merchant in parallel with Ajax Amsterdam to increase the bet.
Annoyed by this lack of respect, the Lensois club had preferred to withdraw from the file. In the Netherlands, Jo made a correct first season with 15 goals in 36 games. But the second is much less convincing: only 3 achievements in 16 Eredivisie games. Loaned to Lille during the last winter transfer window, he did little better in Ligue 1 with 3 goals in 14 games.
Still under contract with Ajax until 2028, the English striker no longer entered the plans of the Dutch club, which is now looking for a way out. In the end, the RC Lens can be delighted to have avoided a transfer that could have turned to fiasco.
