West Ham United linked with Montpellier striker Akor Adams

West Ham are closely monitoring the progress of Montpellier’s prolific striker, Akor Adams, as manager David Moyes seeks to bolster his attacking options in the upcoming January transfer window.

The Hammers are actively exploring potential additions to their squad, prompted by concerns arising from Michail Antonio’s recurring injury woes throughout the current season.

Akor Adams, a 23-year-old talent who previously represented Nigeria at the U20 level, has been making waves in Ligue 1 since his arrival at Montpellier last summer. Having secured a move from Lillestrøm for a commendable sum of 4.5 million euros, Adams has demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess by finding the net seven times in just 15 league appearances.

Adams, with his roots in the Nigerian football scene, boasts a two-game stint with the Nigeria U20 national team, underscoring his credentials as a promising and dynamic forward. His performances at both the domestic and international levels have evidently caught the attention of West Ham’s decision-makers.
