The Nigerian-born stars will team up with the Tigers on Monday as manager Steve Bruce continues to rebuild his squad following their relegation from the Barclays English Premier League last season.
Both players travelled to East Yorkshire on Sunday night ahead of medicals with City on Monday.
Odubajo arrives from Brentford in a £3.5 million deal while Arsenal man, Akpom comes in on a season-loan deal.
Akpom’s move will come to many as a surprise after the Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger stated that the player would not be loaned out in the coming season.
“I sent him out on loan last year because I thought he needed that. This season I plan to keep him with us.
“Yeah (he will get a chance in the Arsenal first team), it’s down to performance and attitude.
“He has that grade to make between being a big talent and after an efficient talent week in, week out. That’s of course the target,” Wenger said after the striker impressed in the club’s pre-season tour to Singapore in July.
