[edit] Style

Akakpo is a deliberate and graceful central defender with terrific athletic qualities goodpace, strength on the ball and in the tackle and good ability to win headballs in aerial battles. Serge may be best used at the highest level as an outside back rather than a central defender given his average height (1.78 m) and that he speaks French (so organizing a side that speaks another language may be tough). He has a spirited quality of play fast, engaging and hard tackling^[4].
