Chuba Akpom

Chuba Akpom is a fascinating case of a striker who took the long way round to find his level. Born in the London Borough of Newham in 1995, he graduated from Arsenal's academy and debuted in 2013, but the early years were a frustrating cycle of loans without a settled home. What I admire is that he never gave up reinventing himself, and his spell at Middlesbrough where the goals finally flowed in abundance was hugely satisfying to watch. Now leading the line for Ipswich Town, he's earned his shot. His career is a reminder that patience and persistence pay off.
