Former Super Eagles winger John Utaka has spoken highly of Montpellier forward Jerome Adams, predicting a promising future for the young striker with the Nigerian national team.
Adams, who has represented Nigeria at the Under-20 level, is yet to receive a call-up to the senior squad but has been lauded by Utaka for his potential.
In an interview, Utaka expressed his belief that Adams could become a vital player for the Super Eagles, should he be given the opportunity to showcase his talents.
The 22-year-old forward has impressed with his performances at Montpellier, and Utaka is confident that his work ethic, physical attributes, and positive mindset make him an ideal candidate for a future role in the national team.
Jerome is a hard worker, and he has the right physique for a forward, Utaka explained.
He has a great mindset, and I believe he will take his chance when it comes.
The Super Eagles could benefit from his energy and commitment.
Adams, however, is currently in the process of recovering from an injury he sustained just before the most recent international break.
Despite this setback, Utaka remains optimistic about the striker’s future prospects with the national team.
As the Super Eagles continue to prepare for upcoming international fixtures, the competition for spots in the squad remains fierce, but Adams’ potential does not go unnoticed.
If he recovers fully and continues to develop at Montpellier, the call-up to the senior squad could come sooner rather than later.
Utaka’s endorsement serves as a significant vote of confidence for the young striker, whose ambition to represent Nigeria at the highest level could soon become a reality.
