Sevilla’s new signing, Nigerian striker Akor Adams, has cut his summer break short to step up recovery following a hamstring injury that sidelined him late in the 2024–25 season. The 25 year old arrived with high expectations in January for around €5.5 million from Montpellier, but managed just 131 La Liga minutes before suffering a myotendinous lesion in his right thigh during a match against Atlético Madrid.

Adams resumed light ball work and training during the March international break, underlining his resolve to hit full fitness.
In mid-April he vowed upon returning to group sessions "There’s no time to adapt… as a player I’ll do everything to help the team."
With a contract running until 2029 and financial constraints limiting Sevilla’s transfer activity, the club remains committed to his long-term integration under the incoming coach. His quick return off the pitch suggests he's prepared to [compete](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-law-and-ethics/) for a regular role in 2025–26.
Editorial
We respect Akor Adams’ attitude. Cutting short a well-deserved holiday to focus on recovery highlights ambition and professionalism. For Sevilla, this shift signals both investment in his long-term potential and belief in his ability to impact the team next season.
However, caution is still vital. His return must be calibrated not rushed especially after recurring thigh injuries. Medical patience paired with gradual reintroduction will be central to and ensuring peak effect when the season starts.
Personally, Adams faces a defining campaign. He must demonstrate durability and effectiveness if he’s to justify the investment and secure a first-team spot. For Sevilla, success lies in using this period wisely support him fully now, and reap the benefits of a sharp, determined striker on return.
