"J-D" Akpa Akpro. He is not a famous rap singer, but a French midfielder (born in Toulouse) of Serie B side Salernitana, that Lazio is observing very closely.
Who is he similar to? As a style of play, Salernitana teammate Joseph Minala. Akpro is a centrocampisti who is 25 years of age and has an Ivorian background. In the summer 2016 JD (which would be the initials of his name, Jean-Daniel) had many offers on the plate because after 33 matches in Ligue 1 his contract was expiring with the shirt of Toulouse. Trabzonspor, Galatasaray but also Villarreal all interested, as well as voices from Italy. But fate has preferred to put a mountain in front of him, all to climb: for him, an injury to the pelvis that knocked him out until the following year, 2017. Then other physical problems occurred, and finally the occasion of Salernitana, who took him for free by the work of Fabiani.
Starting uphill, in the last three games against Perugia, Entella and Foggia, J-D has shown to all his value, with personality. Now Lazio are looking to even take him to the retreat this summer, with the hope of keeping him in the team.
"J-D" Akpa Akpro, who still cannot speak Italian, but who wants to stay in Italy for a long time, wants to recover what fate has taken away from him because of an injury.
