Adams sets for Sevilla switch

Super Eagles striker, Akor Adams is set to complete his transfer to Spanish side Sevilla from Montpellier after arriving in Spain on Saturday for a move worth €5.5m.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on X on Friday.

“Akor Adams will land in Sevilla on Saturday in order to join the club from Montpellier for €5.5m transfer fee. Exclusive story, confirmed,” Romano wrote.

The former Flying Eagles forward has endured a difficult season at Montpellier, managing just three goals and one assist in over a dozen appearances, a significant drop from his impressive debut campaign when he netted seven times in the French league following his move from Norwegian side Lillestrøm.

The 24-year-old’s arrival at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium could further limit fellow Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho’s playing time, with the former Leicester City striker yet to feature for Los Nervionenses in over a month.

Sevilla, who suffered a shock 4-1 Copa del Rey defeat to second-tier side Almeria recently, currently sit 11th in La Liga with 26 points from 20 matches, just seven points above the relegation zone.

The Spanish outfit will hope Adams can rediscover his scoring touch to help improve their fortunes in the second half of the season.
