I don't see him having a fabled Premier League career behind him. Having not qualified for AFCON, Nigeria are looking to recruit everyone they can too. I don't see how Akpom helps in that, and he trained with Nigeria last week apparently?!
In my opinion he wont achieve close to what Nile Ranger has. He's not good enough to be a professional footballer. I've watched enough non-league football, right down to Ryman Div1 South down the years, as well as watching Albion in the lower leagues and this kid 'aint got it I'm afraid.
Akpom would struggle to get in Hastings United's starting XI. No need to boo him, but there's more chance of him scratching round in non-league football in 10 years time than him having played in The Premier League.
