Transfer: EFL Championship side prepared to double Akor Adams Sevilla salary

Published on by

Super Eagles striker Akor Adams could be lured away from Sevilla with an offer from England ahead of the summer transfer window, Afrik Foot reports.

The 26-year-old has scored nine goals and provided three assists for Sevilla this season, the most goal contributions in the team.

Adams was linked with a move to the English Premier League during the winter transfer window, and even more recently, but the striker is firm on focusing on his career in Spain.

“I do not focus on those things because they do not matter right now,” the Benue-born forward said in an interview with Footy Africa.

“I am only looking forward to finishing the season strongly with my club. My teammates and I are fully focused on the team at the moment.

Hull City table offer for Akor Adams

As per Ficherio, Akor Adams’ performance this season hasn’t gone unnoticed in England, and a more persuasive approach can be expected after the 2026 FIFA World Cup is over.

According to the report, Hull City, who are on the brink of promotion to the English Premier League, have already contacted the representatives of the former Montpellier striker.

It is believed that Sergej Jakirovic’s side have offered Akor double the €36,154 weekly wage that he earns in Sevilla.

Sevilla’s Sporting Director, Antonio Cordón, will not sanction a sale for anything less than 25 million euros.

Oli McBurnie and Joe Gelhardt have shouldered the goalscoring responsibility for Hull City this season, and with the latter returning to his parent club, Leeds United, a need for another goalscoring outlet is necessary.

Hull City’s pursuit of Akor Adams largely banks on their promotion to the English Premier League.

After defeating Millwall in the semi-final of the EFL Championship play-off, the Tigers will seal their fate at Wembley Stadium on the 23rd of May.
