Seven-time Europa League winners Sevilla are reportedly considering a move for Montpellier forward Akor Adams.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 24-year-old is set to join the Rojiblancos despite links to other clubs.

The La Liga outfit is set to pay a fee in the region of €5.5m for Akor's signature.

The former Flying Eagles striker has scored 13 goals in 49 games since joining Montpellier from Norwegian club Lillestrom in 2023.

Sevilla's move for the Nigerian international comes amid Kelechi Iheanacho's underwhelming performance since joining García Pimienta's side.

The 28-year-old has managed just nine La Liga appearances since joining Sevilla on a free transfer from Leicester City, and the club is willing to let him leave this January.
