Nigeria’s Akor Adams joins Sevilla from Montpellier

La Liga giants Sevilla have completed the signing of Akor Adams from French outfit Montpellier on a four-and-a-half-year deal, Afrosport reports.

The Nigerian forward moves to the capital city of Andalusia having scored three times and provided three assists in 16 Ligue 1 games this season.

The season prior, the 24-year-old found the back of the 10 times in 32 competitive games as Montpellier finished 12th, 11 points clear of the drop zone.

This season has however been a different story for the 2012 French champions as they currently sit second from bottom, three points shy of safety.

The move to Sevilla offers a fresh start for Akor Adams as he will be the third Nigerian in the books of the seven-time Europa League champions alongside Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke.

It will represent the fourth professional club for the Jamba FA graduate after featuring for Sogndal and Lillestrom in Norway.


He is yet to be capped for the Super Eagles but has played at the Under-20 level, earning two caps for the Flying Eagles at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.
