Following his outstanding performance last weekend, Nigeria's Flying Eagles forward Akor Adams continue to receive accolades and the latest to sign his praises is former French International Dominique Arribage, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Adams made headlines last weekend when fired a brace on his debut game for Montpellier against Le Havre.

Arribage said Adams struggled in the first half but came back strongly to prove everyone wrong by scoring 2 goals.

“In the first half, the camera was focused on Akor Adams and it was said that he hardly touched the ball.

"And then he proved us wrong by showing all his qualities and everything we know about him. We had mentioned his potential in terms of his height in the penalty area. 

"On the first goal, he really asserts himself physically. He goes over the defender and finishes the play.

"On the second goal, he demonstrated his ability to move, despite Sangante coming back strongly. He’s powerful; he made the difference with his speed. He slightly avoids the goal’s centre to get away from the defender and finishes excellently with his left foot.

“He made an impact in the athletic aspect, but as we’ve seen, he’s also capable of making runs and causing trouble throughout the match," he told Prime Video, as per Allezpaillade.

Adams will hope to continue his goalscoring run when Montpellier travel to Lyon in their next Ligue 1 match on August 19.
