    Montpellier’s Akor makes case for Eagles call-up

    Montpellier forward Adams Akor has been making a strong case for a call-up to the Super Eagles with his consistent performances over the past three years.

    Ahead of the forthcoming season, Akor continued to impress as he showcased  his talent  yet again last night  in a pre-season friendly at Stade Fernand Brasseu as Montpellier beat  Saint-Étienne 2-0 .

    In his debut season in France, Akor scored double-digit goals, rekindling memories of legendary compatriot John Utaka for Montpellier fans. Before his move to France, Akor dominated the Norwegian league in 2023, attracting interest from clubs in France, England, and Italy.

    The ex- Flying Eagles striker is known for his clinical finishing and ability to score quality goals. In 2023, he netted 17 goals and provided two assists in 17 games for Lillestrøm. By the time he departed the Norwegian club, he had amassed over 28 goals and seven assists in 50 appearances, totalling more than 3,300 minutes of play.

    With such impressive stats, his call-up to the Super Eagles seems imminent as he continues to be closely monitored by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
