Former Heartland coach Hassan Abdallah has advised the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to extend the Super Eagles invitation to Montpellier striker Akor Adams.
Akor, who featured for Nigeria at the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup, has not been considered for the senior national team despite painting Ligue 1 with goals.
However, in a chat with Brila FM, Abdallah stated that Akor’s physicality and power play will come handy for the Super Eagles.
“I scouted Victor Boniface and Akor Adams. Boniface is good because of his height, ball-holding ability, and dribbling, which is why I converted him into a point man,” Abdallah told Brila FM.
“Akor, on the other hand, has more strength than Boniface. He can bully defenders, but his intelligence is 50-50.
“When Akor is played between central defenders, they don’t move forward; they have to wait. I’ve expected them to invite him to the national team because he has been doing well.”
“He has the power, and we need someone like that,” Abdallah concluded.
