Venezia FC, which will make its top-flight debut in the Serie A on August 23rd at home against Lecce, presented Super Eagles striker Akor Adams and nine other new signings on Thursday at the club's headquarters in Mestre, BSNSports.com.ng.

The chants of the ultras present drowned out the official greetings and the start of the evening, so great was the desire to return to singing at the Penzo.

There was something for everyone, even for sporting director Filippo Antonelli, who has already made ten signings, the latest being Argentine defender Moreno from Fiorentina, made official on the stage at Ca' Venezia.

The most eagerly awaited was former Sevilla and Nigerian international center forward Akor Adams, whose €23 million transfer fee, the highest in the club's history, has been announced.

The challenge for Giovanni Stroppa will be trimming the squad, as there are 44 players on the roster and the ideal number, according to the manager, should not exceed 28.

President Francesca Bodie and her father Tim Leiweke are at the forefront, wanting to give Venezia the means to dream, in view of the move to the new stadium.
