Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

C. Akpom is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Ipswich, rated 32.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 419th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akpom.

Judged on this season alone, Akpom graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 61st of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 29 appearances (0.199 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 58th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 30 Akpom is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 29 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.2 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.5, Akpom carries the 58th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
