by HEDNEWS on July 23, 2026

Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has explained his decision to join Venezia FC instead of remaining with Spanish side Sevilla FC, saying the move was influenced by his desire for regular playing time and a fresh challenge. The Nigerian striker said the opportunity at Venezia presented the right environment for his continued development and allowed him to take on a more significant role on the pitch. Adams, who had been linked with staying at Sevilla, opted for a switch to Italy as he looked to secure more consistent opportunities and contribute more directly to his new team’s ambitions. The forward has built a reputation for his physical strength, movement and goal-scoring ability, qualities that have made him a key attacking option for both club and country. The move comes as Adams continues to push for a stronger role with the Nigeria national football team, with increased club exposure expected to boost his chances of further international involvement. Venezia will be hoping the Nigerian striker can provide attacking firepower and help the club achieve its targets in the new campaign. Adams’ decision reflects a growing trend among players choosing regular first-team football and career development opportunities over remaining at bigger clubs where competition for places may limit their playing time.
