According to The Athletics, Ajax struck a deal with Middlesbrough for the striker on Sunday night.
The Amsterdam club will pay £12m plus £2m add-ons for the Nigerian-born player.
Akpom will undergo medical on Monday (today) and then sign a five-year contract.
The 27-year-old was top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship last season with 28 goals.
The forward was also named Player of the Season in the division. READ ALSO:
