Ligue 1: Utaka lavishes praise on Akor for impressive Montpellier display

Former Montpellier forward, John Utaka has hailed his compatriot, Jerome Akor.

Akor joined La Paillade from Norwegian outfit, Lillestrom in the summer and has proven to be a good acquisition for the club.

The 23-year-old has so far scored seven goals in 11 league appearances for Montpellier.

Utaka eulogised the young striker for his impressive displays for the club.

“He’s a good boy, intelligent, and he adapts quickly. He wants to progress. He knows his role here,” he told the club’s official website.

“He knows that his work will be useful to the team. If he is aware of it, that is the most important thing.”
