Italian club Venezia FC have completed the permanent signing of Nigerian striker Akor Adams from Spanish side Sevilla FC, with the Super Eagles forward committing his future to the Serie A outfit until 30 June 2030.
The Orange and Greens confirmed the transfer in an official statement, describing the acquisition as a major addition to the club’s long-term project ahead of the new season.
Adams arrives in Venice after an eventful journey across Norway, France and Spain, bringing with him a proven goalscoring pedigree and valuable top-flight experience.
The 26-year-old began his football career at the Jamba Academy before making his professional breakthrough with Norwegian club Sogndal IL in 2018. During his time there, he made 56 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing six assists.
His impressive performances earned him a move to fellow Norwegian side Lillestrøm SK ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, where his reputation as a prolific striker continued to grow. Adams registered 28 goals and seven assists in 50 appearances, while also featuring in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying rounds. He additionally scored twice in one appearance for the club’s reserve side.
