While Akpom began his career at Arsenal, he faced challenges in securing a spot in the first-team lineup.
As a right-footed player, he underwent several loan spells with English clubs before making a transfer to the Greek Super League’s PAOK FC in 2018.
Eventually, in 2020, he made the move to Middlesbrough.
