OFFICIAL: Nigeria forward Akor Adams joins Montpellier from Lillestrom
By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde
Nigerian striker, Akor Adams has joined French Ligue 1 side, Montpellier ahead of the 2023/2024 league campaign after completing his switch from Norwegian side, Lillestom.
The 23-year-old centre forward according to the club is capable of fixing the team’s attack with his large body size and fast execution speed.
Last season with Lillestom, Adams scored 15 goals in 15 goals for his former club and he is joining Montpellier 11 years after the exploit of Nigerian forward, John Utaka at the club.
“I have a good feeling when I arrive here. I think I have come to the right place, at the right time to take a step forward. I can’t wait to meet everyone and start this adventure,” Adams told the club website.
Akor also has a message for his new team supporters, saying: “I have seen and heard a lot of things about them and I can’t wait to see them.
“I promise them to always give my best and I am sure we will have a great time together.”
Utaka had a memory time with the French side as he scored two goals against Auxerre to secure a 2-1 win which sealed the league title for Montpellier in 2012, a feat Akor will hope to replicate with the team.
