AFCON 2025
)
Sevilla has a new hero, and he speaks fluent goals.
After a grueling run of four matches without a victory, Sevilla finally tasted blood on Saturday night, securing a vital 2-1 comeback win against Athletic Club.
The man behind the magic? Super Eagles striker Akor Adams. Since returning from a bronze-medal campaign at AFCON 2025, Adams has been playing like a man possessed, and his latest heroics have officially sent the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan into a state of euphoria.

AFCON 2025 DUO RETURN! Super Eagles stars to lead Sevilla’s hunt for first LaLiga win in FIVE
The Nigeria internationals are back from Morocco and ready to fire struggling Sevilla out of their nightmare slump.
‘Scoring goals. It’s what he does’ - Sevilla admin loses it
The relief at the club was so intense that even the official Sevilla social media admin couldn't keep it professional.
Immediately after Adams scored what turned out to be the winner, the club posted a bold, caps-lock declaration: “AKOR I LOVE YOUUUUUUU,” quickly followed by a reminder to the rest of La Liga: “Scoring goals. It’s what he does.”
)
The Nigerian striker, who started and finished the game, stepped up in the 68th minute to bury a high-pressure penalty, sending Unai Simon the wrong way and securing Sevilla's first league win of 2026.
On social media, the "Akor Adams Cult" is growing by the second. Fans are no longer just calling him a good signing; they are calling him the heir to the throne.
“Akor is the new Crown-Prince of Seville,” one fan proclaimed, while another went even further, asking the question on everyone's lips: “African player of the year?”
The praise didn't stop there. “Most in-form African striker in the world presently,” one user argued, highlighting that Adams has now bagged three goals in just two games since landing back in Spain from Morocco. Another fan simply noted: “Proper Baller. You guys have got a gem on your hands.”

Breaking the Yekini Record: A New Nigerian King in Spain
This goal wasn't just about three points; it was about history. With his strike against Athletic Club, Adams has officially surpassed the La Liga goal tally of the legendary Rashidi Yekini.
While "Papilo" and Yekini are the blueprints, Adams is carving out his own legacy in Andalusia.
)
The Record: Surpassed Yekini (3 goals) to move into 11th on the all-time list of Nigerian scorers in La Liga.
The Form: 6 goals and 2 assists in just 16 appearances this season.
The Impact: Ended Sevilla’s 5-match winless slump and moved them up to 11th in the table.
‘He cannot stop scoring’
The momentum Adams gained at AFCON 2025 seems to have given him superpowers. Whether it’s coming off the bench to rescue a draw against Elche or netting the winner against Athletic, the 25-year-old is proving to be the most "proper" striker in Sevilla's recent history.
As one fan put it: “This guy cannot stop scoring mehn. The front man has done it again.”
Sevilla travel to Mallorca next Monday and the club will be banking on their in-form Nigerian to continue from where he stopped.
