Nigerian striker has provided an update on his current situation at Montpellier amid increasing interest from Italian giants AC Milan, Soccernet.NG reports.
Akor Adams, 23, who made a high-profile move from Norwegian top-flight club Lillestrom to Ligue 1 side Montpellier last summer in a €4,5 million deal, has exceeded all expectations with an impressive start to the season.
Adams, who has netted seven goals in just 11 appearances for Montpellier, has emerged as one of the standout performers in the league, currently occupying the second spot on the goalscorers’ charts, just six goals behind PSG star Kylian Mbappe.
Reports suggest that AC Milan is closely monitoring the Nigerian striker and could make a move for him next summer. However, Adams, in a recent statement to Soccernet, has expressed his contentment with life at Montpellier, emphasizing the positive treatment he has received since joining the club.
“I am happy with my current situation and where I am. It’s a good environment to grow as a young player,” Adams stated per Allez Paillade. “I have everything I need here in Montpellier. I’m happy with my decision to come to a club that takes good care of me. I have a very good group around me. I am satisfied.”
Adams acknowledged the interest from AC Milan but made it clear that nothing concrete has emerged from the talks. The striker’s priority appears to be his current club, where he believes the conducive environment has played a pivotal role in his development.
The Nigerian’s stellar performances have undoubtedly put him on the radar for potential suitors, and if he maintains his impressive scoring rate, he could become one of the most sought-after players in the upcoming summer transfer market. His current market value according to Transfermarkt estimates at €8 million, growing twice after his move from Norway to France.
Whether a move to AC Milan materializes or not, Adams seems to be focused on continuing his growth with Montpellier for the time being. The football world will be watching closely to see how this promising talent’s story unfolds in the coming months.
