Ghanaian youngster Kelvin Ansah Frimpong joins Norwegian top division outfit Viking FK

Ghanaian youngster Kelvin Ansah Frimpong has completed a move to Norwegian top-flight side Viking FK from Ghana-based African Vikins Academy, signing a long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2030.

The 18-year-old winger earned the deal after impressing during a trial period with the Eliteserien outfit in Stavanger, where his pace, attacking drive and technical ability caught the attention of the club’s technical team.

Frimpong’s move marks a major step in his young career, having developed at African Vikins Academy before making the leap to European football with Viking.

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.
