Nigerian striker Eiko Adams has revealed that former Super Eagles star John Utaka has helped him since arriving in Montpellier, reports Soccer.
Adams moved from Lilleström to former Ligue 1 champions Montpellier during the international break. Former Nigerian striker Utaka, who helped the club win League One in 2012, was present at the 23-year-old’s unveiling ceremony.
The retired Super Eagles striker is currently Montpellier’s youth coach and Adams revealed that he has developed a good relationship with the former Nigerian striker since joining the club.
“He’s a great guy. For me he’s a legend, a first-rate guy and he helped me a lot,” according to PV SportFriday’s Montpellier vs. Nice Adams said after the game’s scoreless draw.
“He is also a striker and has a lot of experience, so he often comments on my performance after matches. For me, it is positive to have him at the club.”
Since arriving in Montpellier, Adams has had a revelation. He currently has seven goals in his 12 games in Ligue 1 and shows no signs of slowing down.
If Adams continues to score goals for Montpellier, he could be called up to the Super Eagles soon.
