Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has spoken about his experience playing alongside teammate Victor Osimhen in the attack during the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The Sevilla forward said he has adjusted his game to complement Osimhen’s style. Since making his debut in a 2‑1 win over Lesotho last October, the 25‑year‑old has become a regular starter for Eric Chelle’s side, featuring in five of Nigeria’s seven matches and scoring two goals, all while partnering Osimhen up front.
When asked about the partnership, Adams noted that he is accustomed to playing in a double‑striker system from his club days. He stressed the importance of understanding the coach’s requirements and adapting to different game situations. “I try to adjust,” he said. “We are professionals, so you can’t be tied to just one idea of the game; it’s normal.”
Adams’ ability to adapt and work effectively with Osimhen has been a key factor in Nigeria’s AFCON campaign. As the tournament progresses, the Super Eagles will look to build on their positive performances, with the duo playing a crucial role in the team’s attack. The Africa Cup of Nations, hosted in Morocco, features the continent’s top national teams, and the winner will represent Africa at the FIFA Confederations Cup. With the competition entering its critical stages, Nigeria will aim for a deep run, and the partnership between Adams and Osimhen will be vital to their chances of success.
