After Branco van den Boomen, Benjamin Tahirovic, Carlos Forbs, Jakov Medic and Diant Ramaj, Akpom is the sixth reinforcement for Ajax this summer.
In his younger years, Akpom was considered a great talent in Arsenal’s youth academy. He also made his professional debut with the club from North London, but he never really broke through. Furthermore, the goalkeeper was still under contract with PAOK Saloniki. For the Greek club, he scored another goal in 2019 in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League against Ajax.
