No Brann Contract For Anthony Okpotu, Starts Training With Molde
Published: January 15, 2013Lobi stars striker Anthony Okpotu has not been offered a contract by SK Brann after one week of trials.
Instead of returning to Nigeria empty handed without a contract, agent Atta Aneke has arranged further tests for Okpotu in Norway, this time with Molde.
Okpotu, 18, had his first training session with Molde on Tuesday. The Norwegian champions led by former Manchester United icon Ole Gunnar Solskjær have two Nigerians on their payroll - Daniel Chima and Emmanuel Ekpo.
''It is an honor working with the baby faced assassin Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Manchester United legend,'' Okpotu said on his Facebook page.
Anthony Okpotu was among 23 domestic players invited to camp in Abuja last December to prepare for the African Cup of Nations. He was missing when coach Stephen Keshi named his preliminary squad for the tournament.
