Kelvin Ansah Frimpong, a teenage player from Ghana’s African Vikins Academy, has signed a long-term contract that would keep him with the Norwegian top-flight team Viking FK until 2030.
The 18-year-old winger signed the contract after making an impression during a trial period with the Eliteserien squad in Stavanger. The club’s technical team was impressed by his speed, attacking desire, and technical skill.
After growing at the African Vikins Academy before joining Viking to play football in Europe, Frimpong’s move represents a significant turning point in his young career.
Speaking after the announcement, Viking sporting director Erik Nevland expressed delight over securing the promising Ghanaian talent.
“Kelvin has come in with great energy and shown qualities that we like. He is a player with a lot of speed and offensive drive, and we see exciting development potential in him,” Nevland said.
Frimpong also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to begin his professional career in Norway.
“This is a great opportunity for me. I am very grateful for the chance Viking is giving me, and I look forward to working hard for the club and the supporters,” he said.
The move represents a new chapter for the young winger as he transitions from academy football in Ghana to the competitive environment of the Norwegian top flight.
Viking have in recent years intensified their focus on recruiting and developing young talents, both locally and internationally, and the signing of Frimpong underscores the club’s commitment to nurturing promising players for the future.
Frimpong will now integrate into the Viking squad as he continues his development with the Stavanger-based side.
