West Ham United is making a fervent push to secure the services of Akor Adams from French Ligue 1 outfit, Montpellier, in the current transfer window. The English club is eager to reinforce its attacking lineup, which has been marred by a lack of depth.
The initiative comes as the team grapples with the absence of prolific forward Michail Antonio due to injury, while recent acquisition Danny Ings has encountered a dry spell in front of goal.
According to respected transfer expert Dean Jones, “Akor” is a name that has frequently surfaced in discussions. This can be attributed to his commendable goal-scoring record in France this season. West Ham’s extensive network of scouts across Europe indicates a keen interest in unearthing promising transfer prospects that might not have garnered considerable attention from other Premier League clubs.
Akor made the transition to Montpellier from Norwegian club Lillestrom last summer. At just 23 years old, he has showcased his prowess by netting seven goals in the league for Les Aiglons. This impressive track record has undoubtedly captured the attention of West Ham United, as they pursue the promising striker for a potential reinforcing addition to their squad.
