Nottingham Forest have enjoyed some success in the transfer market and in Akor Adams there is a gem that could be perfect in Ligue 1. The Reds have had some success with the overseas market in recent seasons and they will continue scouring the continent.

Adams has burst onto the scene in France during 2023/24. He signed for Montpellier from Lillestrom and is already looking like a player who could be set for a very bright future in the game.

Who is Akor Adams? It's fair to say that he's a bit of a new kid on the block when it comes to the major European leagues. He scored 16 goals in 56 appearances for Sogndal and then moved to Lillestrom where he bagged a further 28 times.

His form in Norway promoted Montpellier to part with PS5.5 million to sign him in the summer. Now, he's settled really well in France and he looks like he could have a really big future in the game.

So far during the 2023/24 campaign, he's settled well at his new club. Adams has bagged five goals from just seven outings and he's sitting just below Kylian Mbappe on the scoring charts in Ligue 1.

Adams could be quality at Forest The Reds were keen on Che Adams from Southampton in the summer but perhaps it's this Adams that makes more sense. January is likely to be a stretch for Forest to make their move given that Montpellier only signed him in the summer.

If he continues in this rich vein of form, however, clubs in bigger leagues will be taking notes. Forest will be in the market for a striker next summer and Adams makes a lot of sense.

In Awoniyi, the Nigerian player would have someone to help him settle and he would perhaps bring a different set of attributes to the table to help complement the 26-year-old's game.

The 23-year-old is a confident individual and he's taken the step up to Ligue 1 in his stride. Next for the youngster could be a Premier League move and Forest would be wise to keep tabs on Adams.
