IFK Goteborg take 16yo Swedish-Nigerian central defender on trial ahead of possible move
Published: November 28, 2024
Swedish Allsvenskan giants IFK Goteborg have taken Sweden underage international of Nigerian descent, Kennedy Okpaleke on trial ahead of a possible move.
The 18-time Swedish champions have informed through their official website that Okpaleke is training with the club for the rest of the week.
Aged 16, Okpaleke will be aiming to impress the coaching staff of IFK Goteborg during the remaining training sessions this week.
Previously, he has taken part in tournaments with IFK Goteborg's academy teams but will train with the senior squad until the end of this month.
He is currently on the books of Swedish Division 2 club Lindome GIF whom he joined ahead of the start of the 2024 season.
Okpaleke represented Sweden at U15 level before he was promoted to the U17 national team.
IFK Göteborg are expected to target new signings before the start of the 2025 campaign as several players left the club at the conclusion of the 2024 season.
If Okpaleke is offered a contract by the Angels, he will be hoping to emulate Suleiman Abdullahi, Peter Ijeh and Alhassan Yusuf, all of whom have made first-team appearances for IFK Göteborg in the past.
