Yusuf Akhamrich has been identified as the best of Leyton Orient's 16 new additions this season. The 21-year-old winger, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, has quickly become a key figure in Richie Wellens's side.
"Yusuf Akhamrich has scored three goals and provided three assists for Wellens’ side," the manager said. His direct contributions have made him the club's top scorer this term, with three goals in seven appearances. Akhamrich has started almost every game.
Building on solid foundations
Leyton Orient's defence has improved from last season, providing a more stable platform. The team currently sits 10th in League One with 10 points from seven matches. This solidity is key as the club aims for a promotion push and a return to the play-off places, a target fans can track on our standings page.
The O's narrowly avoided relegation to League Two last term by just three points, despite Dom Ballard scoring 23 goals. The club is determined not to waste another season following a key departure. Akhamrich's early impact, alongside good starts from teammates like Jaze Kabia and Tony Springett, is helping to replace that lost output.
Leyton Orient's recent form has been mixed, with a win, a draw, and three losses in their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 1-0 home victory over Stevenage on 19 September. The team now prepares for an away fixture against 17th-placed Mansfield Town on 26 September, a game detailed on our fixtures schedule. Akhamrich will aim to continue his influential form as the O's look to climb the table from their current mid-table position.
