With his two goals on Sunday, Akpom now has a remarkable tally of nine goals and 1 assist in just 5 starts for the Dutch giants this season.
His prolific form has been a key factor in Ajax's recent success, but his efforts have been largely ignored by the Nigerian national team selectors.
Nigeria Overlooks Akpom’s
Despite his impressive performances for Ajax, Akpom continues to be overlooked by the Nigerian national team.
The Super Eagles have failed to recognise the striker's goalscoring exploits, which have been crucial in helping Ajax continue to push for a better finish in the Eredivisie after a terrible start.

Akpom's continued snub by the Super Eagles coaches has been a source of frustration for both the player and his supporters.
With his impressive goal-scoring record this season, the striker has proven that he deserves a chance to showcase his talent on the international stage.
Akpom's exclusion from the national team setup has been a puzzling decision that will continue to leave many football fans and pundits questioning the team's selection process.
