Eagles hopeful, Chuba Akpom, has expressed his delighted after he was named Sky Bet Championship Player of The Season at the EFL Awards.
The 27-year-old was rewarded for a terrific season that has seen him score 29 goals in 38 games – 28 coming from 33 league starts – and barring a late flurry of goals elsewhere he will become the first Boro player to scoop the Golden Boot since John Hickton bagged 25 during the 1970/71 Second Division season.
He has already claimed the gong as the first Boro man to hit 20 league goals since Bernie Slaven in 1989/90 and the forward’s ice-cool nature saw him set a new Sky Bet Championship high for successive home strikes when he scored his ninth against Hull City at the Riverside. In a quote on the club’s website, the player expressed delight while also paying tributes to his teammates and coach. He said, “It means a lot to get acknowledged for the work during the season and I’m really grateful for it.
“There’s a lot of quality players in this league so for me to even be on the shortlist was an amazing accomplishment.
