EFL Championship side prepared to double Akor Adams Sevilla salary

Super Eagles forward Akor Adams may receive a tempting offer from an English club ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Afrik Foot.

The 26‑year‑old has contributed nine goals and three assists for Sevilla this season, the highest combined tally in the squad.

During the winter transfer window he was linked with a move to the Premier League, and speculation has continued, but the striker says his focus remains on his career in Spain.

“I do not focus on those things because they do not matter right now,” the Benue‑born player told Footy Africa.

“I am only looking forward to finishing the season strongly with my club. My teammates and I are fully focused on the team at the moment.”

Hull City table offer for Akor Adams

Ficherio notes that Adams’ performances have attracted attention in England, and a more aggressive approach could materialise after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The report says Hull City, who are close to securing promotion to the Premier League, have already reached out to the former Montpellier striker’s representatives.

It is reported that Sergej Jakirovic’s side have proposed a weekly wage that is double Sevilla’s €36,154 payment to the player.

Sevilla’s sporting director Antonio Córdoba has stated that the club will not consider a transfer for less than €25 million.

Oli McBurnie and Joe Gelhardt have carried most of Hull City’s scoring load this season; with Gelhardt now back at Leeds United, the Tigers need another reliable goal scorer.

Hull City’s pursuit of Adams is closely tied to their promotion ambitions.

After beating Millwall in the Championship play‑off semi‑final, the Tigers will contest the final at Wembley Stadium on 23 May.
