‘How many chances does he need’ - South African legend calls on Akor Adams to improve on his finishing

Former South Africa international Teko Modise has called on Super Eagles striker Akor Adams to improve his clinical finishing to secure a regular spot at Sevilla.

Adams has had a productive AFCON campaign for the Super Eagles, contributing two goals and two assists in five appearances.

The Super Eagles star was on target during the quarter-final game against Algeria, putting Nigeria two goals up.

Although he squandered a big opportunity in the first half to give Nigeria the lead, but eventually atoned for his poor finishing as the Super Eagles claimed a 2-0 win.

Modise advises Adams

Modise shared his analysis following the win against Algeria on Saturday, a match where Adams scored but also squandered several significant opportunities.

During his post-match commentary on SuperSport, the former Bafana Bafana star highlighted Adams' inefficiency in front of goal, emphasising that ruthlessness is essential at the elite level.

"I think it is important because we were off the screen complaining yesterday," Modise remarked. "How many chances does he need?"

While acknowledging the striker's commendable work rate and intelligent movement off the ball, Modise insisted that these attributes must be complemented by decisive finishing to succeed in the Spanish top flight.

"But also Adams as well, finding himself in the right spaces, he works so hard, he gets the right opportunities," he added. 

"But then what? Maybe he might improve his performance from a club-level perspective by being able to utilise the opportunities that he gets."
