According to De Telegraaf, Akpom is available for loan, and Sunderland had previously shown interest, but he turned down the move.
Now, Leicester and French side Marseille are linked with a move for the 29-year-old.
Akpom has three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract. He moved to Ajax in 2023 after a prolific season with Middlesbrough.
Akpom has struggled for consistent form this season, scoring eight goals in 31 appearances
