Akpembe's impressive performance in the CSL has ended the team's goal drought.
The Chinese Super League (CSL) has been a tough league for the team this season, but Akpembe's recent performances have shown that they can still compete with the best teams in Asia. In their last match against Tianjin Teda, Akpembe scored two goals and provided an assist, helping his team to win the game 2-1.
This is not the first time that Akpembe has made an impact on the CSL. He was previously loaned out to Guangzhou Evergrande, where he helped them win the CSL title in 2017. However, since then, he has struggled to find his form in China.
But Akpembe has now proved that he is capable of performing at the highest level once again. His performances in the CSL have put him back into contention for the African Footballer of the Year award, which is voted by football journalists from around the world.
With Akpembe's recent performances, it seems that the CSL foreign player drought may be coming to an end. The league is still a long way from being as competitive as Europe or South America, but it is starting to show signs of improvement. With players like Akpembe leading the way, there is hope that the future of the CSL will only get better.
