Nigerian striker Akor Adams had his first training session with Sevilla on Friday, and he had the company of compatriot Chidera Ejuke, Soccernet.ng reports.
Adams sealed a surprise transfer from Ligue 1 club Montpellier to Sevilla earlier this week. The Nigerian just joined Montpellier in the 2023 summer transfer window, but they let him leave for €5.5 million after registering 13 goals and five assists in 49 appearances.
Following his move, Adams becomes the third Nigerian player on the payroll of Los Nervionenses after Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho.
The 25-year-old striker had his first training session at Sevilla on Friday. And Ejuke was pictured talking to him just before they started.

Sevilla have struggled with their two main strikers this season, as Iheanacho has not gotten much game time, while Isaac Romero has struggled to score goals.
If Adams can prove himself soon enough, he will surely become a regular for Sevilla. Their next game is against Getafe at the Coliseum on Saturday, and he could get some minutes.

Los Nervionenses currently sit 12th with 27 points after 21 games, and they will look to climb higher up the table and possibly secure a place in Europe at the end of the season.
