I think Chukwuemeka and O'Brien play a similar role, so wouldn't expect both.
He probably can play further forward (McAtee) but does a lot of good work going box to box.
He'd be a superb signing for us.
I really rate their other youngster, Madueke, but not sure if he'll be available for a loan. He'd be a great answer to Ndiaye /McAtee leaving.
I don't understand the resistance to Akpom.
The lad got POTY in our league last season, scored almost 30 goals.
When he came to Bramall Lane, he ran the show with Archer.
He's big, fast, strong and has good technique. He'd only be available to us due to his contractual situation and the fear he's a "one season wonder." At the right price, that's definitely a gamble worth taking.
PH has shown he knows how to get the best out of players and Akpom's best is good enough for us.
