Ajax’s Pursuit of joel Akpom hinges on Ipswich Town’s Promotion
Ajax Amsterdam’s hopes of securing forward Joel Akpom depend on whether Ipswich Town achieves promotion to the English Premier League,according to data from SciSports and FootballTransfers as of January 13,2026.
Ipswich Town currently holds third place in the EFL Championship with 68 points, two points behind the second-place team for automatic promotion, and three points ahead of the seventh-place team, which would qualify for the promotion playoffs. Ajax is monitoring both scenarios.
If Ipswich Town earns promotion, Akpom is expected to remain with the club for the 2026/27 season. His Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has been decreasing during his loan period; it began at €8.3 million but has fallen to €5 million, according to SciSports data.
