Akpom joined the four-time UEFA Champions League winners from Middlesbrough last season, but he was mostly featured as a squad player and is reported to be unhappy at the Johan Cruyff Arena. The 28-year-old is considering leaving the club.

VfB Stuttgart, based in Stuttgart, Germany, is a professional football club competing in the Bundesliga. The team has a rich history and is known for its passionate fanbase and competitive spirit.
Stuttgart has permanently signed Deniz Undav from Brighton and Hove Albion after the German striker spent last season on loan with Sebastian Hoeneß’s side, but the club is looking to add another striker to the mix after Guirassy signed with Nuri Sahin’s Borussia Dortmund.
An exciting opportunity for Akpom to play Champions League football. Stuttgart also plays with two strikers up-front, meaning the former England U-21 won’t have to worry about playing time at the Mercedes Benz Arena.
Ajax is open to selling Akpom for the right amount. The Dutch side have been trying to sign former Manchester United striker, Wout Weghorst to Amsterdam for a while now, but the 32-year-old can only come if Akpom or Brian Brobbey leave.
This also has to do with Ajax’s salary budget, which needs to be reduced. The departure of a big earner like Akpom can certainly help with that.
Bringing in a player like Akpom could enhance the striking options, providing competition and depth.
As VfB StuStuart considers Chuba Akpom as a possible replacement for Sehrou Guirassy, they must weigh his potential contributions against their strategic needs and financial constraints.
If signed, Akpom could be instrumental in bolstering the team’s attacking line as they aim for success in the Bundesliga.
