Top Norwegian club, ODDS BK, has officially announced the signing of Nigerian midfielder Adam Mukhtar from Sporting Lagos.

Mukhtar, 18, has signed a two-year contract with the club after impressing during a successful trial.

The young midfielder was unveiled at the club’s secretariat on Tuesday, where he expressed his excitement about taking this significant step in his career.

“I am incredibly happy and excited. This is a moment I have been waiting for my whole life, and it is the biggest moment of my career so far,” Mukhtar told the club’s official website.

While many young players face challenges adjusting to European football, Mukhtar is confident he can rise to the occasion.

“Football is football, but the tactics and the way of playing here are a little different from what I am used to,” he explained.

“I hope to adapt quickly because I already feel that this is a step up from football in Africa. My teammates and the coaching staff have been fantastic with me – they have helped me both on and off the pitch. I really feel at home here.”

Mukhtar’s optimism and determination to succeed in Europe could see him make a significant impact at ODDS BK in the coming seasons.
