Nigeria forward, Chuba Akpom, has expressed his excitement about joining the Dutch Eredivisie side Ajax Amsterdam, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The former PAOK Salonika attacker completed a 5-year deal with the Dutch on Wednesday and stated that he can't wait for the season to start.

" It’s a very historical club, hopefully, I can create some history here,” he told the club website.

“The name says a lot, when you put on this jersey, what it represents, the history and the success that club has achieved and what the club stands for, I respect that and I am ready to push the club forward.”

"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.”

Ajax finished in the 3rd position last season and will bank on Akpom to take the club back to the summit this season.
