Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has described Chuba Akpom as a versatile player whose contributions to the team have been massive since his arrival.

The former Ajax star joined the French club in the January transfer window and has netted two goals in two matches this ongoing season in Ligue 1.

In a chat with Lavoixdunord.fr, Chevalier stated that Akpom has been an added value to the team and can play in any position.

“I’m happy for him [Chuba Akpom]. He plays in the same position as Jonathan, but he has a different profile,” Chevalier said. “He can even play on the wing. He’s faster, more into dribbling, and into percussion, whereas Jonas [David] is more someone who will put away and position himself well.”

“He will have a bit of this off-center role. He has a certain power. He’s an alternative on long balls, something we didn’t have in our squad. We really feel an added value,” Chevalier added.
