Super Eagles FC! Netizens tease Sevilla after third Nigerian signing

Football fans flooded social media with reactions after Spanish LaLiga side Sevilla announced the signing of Nigerian striker Akor Adams from Montpellier, making him the club's third Super Eagles player this season.

The 24-year-old striker, who signed a five-year contract with Los Nervionenses until 2029, joins compatriots Chidera Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, though reports suggest Iheanacho could leave before the transfer window closes.

Sevilla posted an announcement on social media with the caption "From Benue State to Sevilla."

Nigerian fans reacted quickly, with @endyy090 naming the club "Super Eagles FC."



"Is Sevilla owned by a Nigerian now?" David Peters posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Paultwin Okoye expressed his support by writing, "I wish this young man nothing but the best of luck in his football career."

Eze Chidi greeted the striker, writing, "Welcome to Sevilla FC, Akor." User @PlutoVibez_ commented, "Sevilla, you guys are doing well."

However, some fans took the opportunity to remind the Spanish club of their promise to give amateur Nigerian footballer Osineye Ayotunde, also known as 'Ola Great', a trial after his social media post surpassed their 100,000 retweets target last week.

"Admin you wan Dey use us catch cruise," Dave Chigozie posted, while Abass simply asked, "Oladegreat nko?"

The comments became more serious when @fabthaFabulous threatened, "On February first, we will mass report your page across all platforms." "You're using us to farm impressions."

Adams joins Sevilla after making three goals and three assists in 15 games for Montpellier this season. The striker previously had successful spells in Norway with Sogndal IL and Lillestrøm SK, where he notably scored 17 goals in 17 games during summer 2023.

The former Nigeria U-20 international joins Sevilla's Nigerian contingent, after the club recently announced the formation of a new international squad to compete in Spain's ninth-tier Tecera Andaluza.
