À dix jours de la fermeture du mercato, le lundi 3 février, l’avant-centre Akor Adams s’apprête à rejoindre le club espagnol du FC Séville et ouvre la porte à un renfort offensif

The transfer window is in full swing ten days before its closing. Montpellier's Nigerian striker Akor Adams is set to join Spanish club Sevilla FC according to information from Fabrizio Romano that we are able to confirm.

Courted by various clubs in recent days, the MHSC center forward did not come into play during Jean-Louis Gasset's team's recent success against Monaco (2-1). According to the same source, the transfer currently being finalized would be negotiated at 8ME, including two bonuses.

A successful debut

Adams, very close to his 25th birthday, joined Montpellier in August 2023 to succeed the young prodigy Elye Wahi, transferred to Lens for 30ME. For his third professional season, the former Espoir international impressed by scoring 19 goals including a quadruple in Lyon.

This athletic striker (1.90 m, 90 kg) arrived from Lillestrom (Norway), had a successful debut at Montpellier, scoring seven goals in ten games, before losing confidence and experiencing a long slump at the end of a turbulent October (match abandoned against Clermont, Sakho affair).

Since the start of the season, Adams has scored three goals in fifteen games, caused two penalties and made an assist. In Montpellier, within a team plunged to last place, this player, with a mentality appreciated by all, has not managed to find the right connections, nor the full carburetion.

In search of a new center forward

In the absence of an alternative at the tip of the attack, Montpellier would be looking for a new center forward to fill its departure and relaunch an attack that is insufficiently effective (18 goals).

FC Seville, one of the two clubs in the Andalusian capital, occupies 11th place in La Liga with a seven-point lead over the first relegation place. With only 23 goals in 20 games, the seven-time Europa League winner is also looking for a new lease of life.
