The Chinese Super League (CSL) has seen its share of foreign players struggle to find their feet, with Akpembe's goal drought being one such example. The Nigerian forward made the move to the league from the English Championship in January 2019, hoping to make his mark on the top flight.

However, things did not go according to plan for Akpembe, who struggled to score goals and often found himself out of position at times. Despite his efforts, he failed to impress fans or coaches, and was eventually sold to another club in the summer of 2020.

Despite this setback, Akpembe remains a highly skilled player, and his potential is still there. He could be a valuable addition to any team that can provide him with the right platform and support to flourish.

In conclusion, while Akpembe's goal drought may have been a disappointment for many, it does not diminish his talent or ability as a footballer. With the right opportunities and support, he has the potential to succeed in the CSL and beyond.
