Nigerian international Akor Adams is poised to make his highly anticipated debut for Sevilla, and he’ll face a familiar opponent in fellow Nigerian Chrisantus Uche, who plays for Getafe, in a thrilling match-up on Saturday.
Akor Adams completed a permanent move to Sevilla on January 28, signing a four-year deal after leaving Montpellier, where he spent a season and a half.
The move was prompted by a recent slump in form, having not scored since September, and a desire for a fresh start in a new league. The Nigerian striker had been struggling to find the back of the net, and his last goal came in a 3-2 win over Auxerre, leaving him eager to reignite his scoring form.
Seeking a new challenge and a change of scenery, Akor Adams made the move to Sevilla, hoping that the switch to a new league and team would help him rediscover his goal-scoring touch and take his career to the next level.

Akor Adams’ transition to Sevilla is expected to be smoother with the presence of his Nigerian teammates Chidera Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho, who can provide support and ease his adaptation.
However, the presence of Iheanacho may be short-lived, as he is reportedly facing an uncertain future at the club due to limited playing opportunities, which may force him to seek a move elsewhere before the transfer window closes.
Akor Adams’ quest for a swift start to life at Sevilla may be complicated by the presence of another Nigerian player, Chrisantus Uche, who has been in impressive form lately.
Uche’s recent performance was particularly noteworthy, as he scored a goal and provided an assist in his previous match, earning him a spot in the WhoScored La Liga team of the week, a testament to his significant contribution to his team’s victory.
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter on Saturday as Getafe, riding a five-match unbeaten streak, host Sevilla, who are eager to bounce back from a dismal run of just one win in their last five games.
