Akor Adams’ LaLiga African MVP Bid Faces Threat from Pepe and Eyong
Akor Adams looked set to match Samuel Chukwueze’s LaLiga African MVP feat after his dramatic 91st-minute winner for Sevilla against Espanyol. With nine goals and three assists this season, he leads Nigeria’s push to reclaim the award first won by Chukwueze in 2023. But former Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe has rediscovered his best form at Villarreal. He has eight goals and six assists this campaign, including five goal contributions in his last four matches, making him Adams’ most dangerous rival. Levante’s young Cameroonian sensation Karl Etta Eyong is also in contention. The 22-year-old has seven goals and four assists and struck a crucial winner in Levante’s 3-2 win over Osasuna. With the season’s climax approaching, Adams must outscore these rivals to secure the African MVP crown.
