Nigerian striker Akor Adams has completed his transfer from Spanish club Sevilla to Serie A newcomers Venezia.
The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Italian club, which will keep him at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo until June 30, 2030.
Adams joins Venezia after an impressive spell with Sevilla, where he scored 10 goals and registered four assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
The Super Eagles forward said Venezia’s ambition and long-term project played a key role in his decision to join the newly promoted club.
” I chose to come here because I see the extraordinary project Venezia is building, and I want to contribute to writing a new chapter in its history,” Adams told the club’s official website.
“I want to tell the fans that what they manage to create in such a special place is truly incredible. The energy and passion they convey are unique. I’ve seen so many videos of the matches and I’ve been impressed by their constant support.
“I believe this team deserves to be in Serie A. It belongs in that league, also because of the affection and support the fans have always shown over the years. They are loyal, passionate, and never fail to support us. I’m proud to be a part of all this.”
