Basel linked with Kongsvinger winger Daniel Job in reported move

Nigeria’s Daniel Job is being linked with a move from Kongsvinger to Basel, according to a transfer rumour dated 11 August 2026.

Job, 20, plays as a left winger for Kongsvinger, who compete in Norway’s OBOS-ligaen. Basel are listed in Switzerland’s Super League, placing the reported move between clubs from different national competitions.

The link concerns a player whose listed market value is €1m. That figure provides an indication of the valuation attached to Job as interest from Basel emerges, although the rumour does not confirm a transfer fee or indicate that an agreement has been reached.

Job’s current role at Kongsvinger is on the left side of attack, while Basel are the club associated with a potential next step in his career. The available details identify the Swiss side as the prospective destination but do not establish whether discussions have progressed beyond initial interest.

Any move would take the 20-year-old Nigerian away from Kongsvinger and the OBOS-ligaen, where he is currently registered, to Basel’s Super League setup. For now, the proposed switch remains a transfer rumour rather than a confirmed deal, with Job still listed as a Kongsvinger player.
