Sarpsborg 08 FF, a Norwegian Eliteserien club, has officially announced the signing of Nigerian winger Daniel Job on a loan deal from Future Pro Football Club, a renowned academy based in Lagos, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The 18-year-old talent, likened to former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles captain Ramon Azeez, has inked a five-month contract with Sarpsborg 08, with an option for a permanent transfer in the summer.
This move marks a significant achievement for Sarpsborg 08, as they managed to outmaneuver competition from Al Wasl, the current table-toppers in the United Arab Emirates league, to secure Job’s services. Despite training with Al Wasl previously, negotiations faltered at the eleventh hour over financial terms, paving the way for Sarpsborg 08 to swoop in.
With aspirations to emulate the success of former Sarpsborg 08 star Aaron Samuel, who went on to represent the Super Eagles, Job is eager to make his mark in Norwegian football. The club, renowned for nurturing talent, provides an ideal platform for the young winger to showcase his skills and further his development.
