The Ajax star man has been in red hot form taking the Eredivisie by storm
Chuba Akpom, the Nigeria-eligible striker plying his trade for Ajax in the Eredivisie, has emerged as the most prolific goalscorer in the Dutch top flight this season, further proving the former Arsenal man’s quality which is constantly being overlooked for a place in the Super Eagles set up.
Akpom’s prolific goal-scoring record
Chuba Akpom has been in scintillating form for Ajax, averaging a goal every 76 minutes of play in the Eredivisie. This remarkable statistic makes him the best-performing goalscorer among all players with at least nine goals this campaign. Despite limited starts, Akpom has managed to find the back of the net nine times in just 682 minutes of Eredivisie action.
Akpom's goal-scoring prowess extends beyond the Eredivisie, with a total of 13 goals in 30 matches across all competitions this season. What makes this feat even more impressive is the fact that he has started only eight matches in all competitions, showcasing his ability to make an impact off the bench as well.
In a recent Eredivisie clash against PEC Zwolle, Akpom once again proved his worth by netting a brace to help Ajax secure a comprehensive 3-1 victory. His two goals came at crucial moments in the match, highlighting his importance to the team's success.
Ajax star still expecting Super Eagles berth
Despite his outstanding performances for Ajax, Chuba Akpom continues to be overlooked by the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles. Despite his consistent goal-scoring form and contributions to Ajax's success, Akpom has been consistently ignored by the national team selectors.

The continued snub by the Super Eagles coaches has been a source of frustration for both Chuba Akpom and his supporters. Many believe that his impressive goal-scoring record this season warrants a call-up to the national team, providing him with the opportunity to showcase his talent on the international stage.
Chuba Akpom's prolific goal-scoring exploits in the Eredivisie underline his quality and potential, making a strong case for his inclusion in the Super Eagles squad. As he continues to shine for Ajax, fans will hope that his efforts do not go unnoticed by the national team selectors, allowing him the chance to represent Nigeria at the highest level.
