Akor Adams’ move to the Spanish La Liga club is said to be valued at €5.5 million.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on social media platform X on Friday, stating, “Akor Adams will land in Sevilla on Saturday to join the club from Montpellier for €5.5m transfer fee. Exclusive story, confirmed.”

Adams, who previously showcased his talent with the Flying Eagles, has faced challenges this season at Montpellier, contributing three goals and one assist in over a dozen appearances—a notable decrease from his debut season when he scored seven goals in the French league after transferring from Norwegian club Lillestrøm.

His arrival at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium could potentially make an impact on fellow Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho’s playing time, as the former Leicester City striker has not featured for Los Nervionenses in over a month.

Currently, Sevilla find themselves in 11th place in La Liga, with 26 points from 20 matches, just seven points above the relegation zone, following a surprising 4-1 defeat to second-tier Almeria in the Copa del Rey. The club is optimistic that Adams can regain his goal-scoring form and contribute positively to their efforts in the upcoming months.
