Akor Adams, the third Nigerian to join La Liga side Sevilla, has expressed his commitment to contributing to the success of the Spanish club.
In his first interview after his official unveiling at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, the former Montpellier striker shared his excitement about the move.
“It has been a very good few days with many good people. I am very happy to be here. All the negotiations were handled by my agent. We know that Sevilla is a great club, and I am very happy to have arrived,” Akor said.
Reflecting on his journey, Akor noted, “In football, there are always good and bad moments. I started well at Montpellier, and now I’m here, part of this club. I’m thinking about the future and not the past.”
According to the Sevilla website, Akor will join his compatriots Ejuke Chidera and Kelechi Iheanacho in the dressing room.
“I spoke to Ejuke Chidera, and he told me that I had to come here, that I would love it. Kelechi Iheanacho is a great player, and he also encouraged me. I’m very happy that I listened to them,” Akor added.
Describing his style of play, Akor said, “I am a team player, a well-rounded striker who wants to help. I’m going to give my all, and you will see how I play when I get on the pitch.”
Inspired by footballing legends Ronaldo Nazario and Didier Drogba, Akor is ready for the competition in the attack.
“The coach will decide who plays and who does not. I can’t talk about my teammates because they are giving their all. I’m here to help and to be ready for the coach,” he concluded.
