The La Liga club Sevilla has announced the signing of Nigerian striker Akora Adams from Montpellier on a contract running until 2029.

Akor is now the third Nigerian player, after Chidera Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho, to join Sevilla during recent transfer windows.

Adams, who was in attendance for Sevilla’s game against RCD Espanyol on Saturday, had played 15 games for the French side this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists before the switch.

Adams began his career in Nigeria with Jamba Football. He then moved to Sogndal IL, a Norwegian second-division club, where he scored 16 goals and made 6 assists in three-and-a-half seasons with the club.

His performances caught the eye of Lillestrøm SK in the Eliteserien, the top division of Norwegian football, for whom he signed in 2022.

In his first season, he scored 11 goals in 33 games and made his debut in European competitions in a UEFA Conference League qualifier against SJK Seinajoki of Finland. In August 2023, he joined Montpellier, making 33 appearances in all competitions, scoring ten goals, and providing two assists.

At the international level, he has played twice for Nigeria’s Under-20s at the 2019 Under-20 World Cup held in Poland.
