A record transfer to Montpellier?

After selling Elye Wahi for 30 million euros last summer, the MHSC could pocket a new jackpot thanks to its scorer, Akor Adams, already the author of 7 goals.

The runner-up to Kylian Mbappé in the ranking of top scorers in Ligue 1 is neither Alexandre Lacazette, nor Jonathan David and even less Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. This is the Nigerian center forward from Montpellier Akor Adams, author of 7 goals in eleven matches this season in the league.

Recruited for just 5 million euros last summer, when he had scored 19 goals in 22 matches since the start of 2023 with Lillestrom in Norway, Adams has the profile to attract Premier League clubs, such as entrusts an English recruiter to The Team. If he is limited technically, the 1.90 player has an impressive size and an astonishing speed of execution (which allows him to create chances on his own).

If Akor Adams continues to shake the nets in favor of the Pailladins, his market value could soar up to 25 million euros in a few months and the MHSC will then have the possibility of making a new record transfer after having sold Elye Wahi to RC Lens for 30 million last summer.
