Chuba Akpom is delighted to win this season’s Championship player of the season.
Akpom took home the top accolade following his impressive performance for Middlesbrough that saw him score 29 goals in 38 games.
“Championship player of the season, Feeling extremely humbled and blessed to receive this award.
“It’s been a journey full of ups and downs but I’ve learnt so much on the way. I’d like to thank my teammates , my family , fans and everyone that’s supported me.” He posted on his Twitter handle.
In a separate interview with the Club’s official website, the former Arsenal academy graduate dedicated the trophy to manager Michael Carrick.
“He’s a manager that when players make mistakes he encourages you no matter what,”
“We’re not scared of making mistakes or taking risks and it’s good to have that encouragement and backing from the manager.
“If you get the ball and do a mis-placed pass try it again, if you have a shot and don’t score.”
