Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta is ready to unleash new signing Jerome Akor Adams on Getafe. The Rojiblancos will face José Bordalás’ side in a league encounter at the Coliseum on Saturday.
Adams joined Sevilla from Ligue 1 club Montpellier this week in a deal worth €5.5m. Pimienta declared that the Nigerian is ready for action.
“He’s been training for a couple of days; he has to understand our way of playing. We have to be patient, and the advantage is that he’s fit and will adapt,” Pimienta told a press conference.
“We expect a lot from him because he has the level to play for Sevilla, and he’s coming with desire; you can see it in his eyes.”
The 24-year-old comes with a strong pedigree, having featured regularly for Montpellier during his time at the club.
Pimienta heaped praise on the club’s new striker.
“Akor is a proven player who comes from playing in the French first division. We thought he was a good reinforcement, but in no case are we going to give up on the reserve team. Everything will depend on performance. If someone in the first team falls behind, another will have their chance,” he added.
