He has pledged his international future to the Super Eagles, having trained with the team in March 2017 ahead of a cancelled friendly against Burkina Faso.

The London-born Akpom spent time on loan at English clubs Brentford, Coventry City, Nottingham Forest, Hull City and Brighton & Hove Albion during his time with the Gunners.
