Both players travelled to East Yorkshire on Sunday night ahead of completing their moves on Monday.
Odubajo will move after the Tigers triggered the 22-year-old’s release clause – believed to be £3.5 million.
The midfielder only signed with Brentford in June 2014 from Leyton Orient and scored three goals to help them secure a play-off place at the end of the season.
Steve Bruce is also looking to boost his attacking options by acquiring Akpom who will join Hull on a season-long loan deal from the Gunners.
The 19-year-old made headlines during Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia, scoring a hat-trick during the opening match against the Singapore XI.
Akpom has represented England at under-20 level and spent the second half of last season on loan at Coventry City and Nottingham Forest.
The pair will join new arrivals Ryan Taylor, Sam Clucas and Isaac Hayden ahead of Saturday’s season opener against Huddersfield Town.
