12-game goal drought in Ligue 1: Akor Adams gets vote of confidence from Montpellier teammate
Published: February 18, 2024Montpellier forward Arnaud Nordin has expressed his backing for teammate Akor Adams who hasn't found the back of the net in the Ligue 1 since last October.
Since bagging a brace in Montpellier's 3-0 win over Toulouse, he has failed to score in twelve consecutive appearances in the French top flight.
His form comes as a surprise because he started the season strongly, scoring 7 goals in his first ten games, and was looking like a contender for the Golden Boot with PSG star Kylian Mbappé.
Adam's blistering start to life in France attracted the interest of West Ham and AC Milan but with his recent form, the 23-year-old might not be leaving Stade de la Mosson anytime soon.
The former Flying Eagles forward dropped to the bench for the first time this season today in Montpellier's 3-0 victory over Metz on matchday 22 of the Ligue 1.
Nordin believes Adams will discover his goalscoring form very soon.
In quotes relayed by Allezpaillade, the French forward said: "As you have seen, Akor has a lot of quality. It happens to a lot of attackers to have a slack period.
"I have complete confidence in him, he is someone who works a lot. So I think it will come back, he shouldn't be totally focused on that, because it could make him thwart, but naturally, it will turn around and I will be the first happy for him as soon as he gives us goals."
Montpellier will need Adams to rediscover his form as they seek to protect their top-flight status, they sit just outside the relegation zone due to goal difference at the moment.
