National Team Achievements

In 2019, Akor Adams made his debut for the Nigerian U-20 national team, participating in the Youth World Cup in Poland. The forward played in two group stage matches, providing an assist in the game against Qatar. Although Nigeria reached the Round of 16, losing to Senegal 2-1, Adams did not participate in the playoff matches. However, he has not уet been called up to the senior Nigerian national team. But with such performances, that is the matter of time. 

Football and Salary Prospects

In the 2023/2024 season, Akor Adams has not missed a single match. Furthermore, the forward scored a brace in his debut match against Le Havre AC. Currently, with seven goals, the Nigerian is the top scorer for Montpellier HSC. If Adams continues his goal-scoring form, he is likely to attract the attention of the coaches of the senior Nigerian national team and could convince the French club to renegotiate his contract on more favorable terms.
