Chuba Akpom completes Ajax move from Middlesbrough

"I'd like to thank everyone connected with Boro and especially a big thanks to the fans for the support and love they have given me," Akpom told mfc.co.uk.

"Last season was full of memories I'll never forget and I will be forever proud. Everyone knows what I think of Michael Carrick, and I'm sure success is just around the corner.

"For me now, I have an exciting new challenge with one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I can't wait to get started with Ajax. I'll still be following the Boro from afar and wish everyone connected with the club all the very best for the future."
