Chuba Akpom, says he’s eager to play in any forward position for Ajax.

In his first start for Ajax on Sunday, Akpom was fielded on the right side of the front three against FC Twente.

The game however ended in 3-1 loss defeat for the former European Champions, with the summer but not really effective.

Speaking with the media, the former Middlesbrough man affirmed his determination to excel at the club and revealed, he’s been watching clips of former Dutch forward Dennis Bergkamp who excelled in similar role.

“A fantastic player, who of course also played at Ajax. He could play as a false nine and connect the game,” Akpom said as quoted by Voetbal Primeur.

“He was also very physical. Everyone talks about his technique, but he was merciless.

“I also have that a bit, because I also try to play as a second striker. I also have the technical and physical qualities.”

Chuba Akpom scored 29 goals for Middlesbrough last season, and joined Ajax this summer in a deal worth about €15m in total.
