Bundesliga’s Werder Bremen target Nigerian goalscoring machine with six goals in six games

German Bundesliga campaigners SV Werder Bremen have reportedly set their sights on Nigerian striker Akor Adams as a potential successor to Marvin Ducksch, Soccernet.ng reports. 

The 23-year-old currently plies his trade for Lilleström SK in the Norwegian Premier League and has already caught the attention of the Bremen scouts.

During Lilleström SK's recent league game against Odds BK, scouts from SV Werder Bremen were observed in the stands, closely monitoring Adams' performance, according to Weser-Kurier. 

The Nigerian striker proved his worth by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory for Lilleström. This goal marked his sixth in just six appearances this season, showcasing his impressive scoring prowess.

With a market value estimated at €1.8 million according to Transfermarkt, Akor Adams has attracted attention not only for his performances on the pitch but also for his potential in the transfer market.

Adams' contract with Lillestrom is set to expire on December 31, 2024, leaving an opportunity for a potential move to a bigger club.

Werder Bremen's interest in Adams comes as they seek to strengthen their attacking options and find a reliable successor to bolster their forward line. Adams' youth and impressive goal-scoring record make him an intriguing prospect for the Bundesliga side.

It remains to be seen if SV Werder Bremen can beat other suitors to secure the services of Akor Adams, potentially adding a talented Nigerian striker to their ranks in the near future.

A former Flying Eagles star, Adams featured for the Nigeria under-20 team at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
