Norwegian club Lillestrom SK have signed promising youngster Seun Akanji.
Akanji was on trial at LSK a year and a half ago and made such a good impression that the club secured an option to sign him when he turned 18.
The talented attacker impressed greatly during the trial match as a 16-year-old, and sports director Espen Olsen is looking forward to following his development in LSK.
“Seun impressed us a lot when he was on trial as a 16-year-old in January 2025. Now he is finally formally ready for LSK, and we are really looking forward to further developing him here at the club. He is an exciting and explosive player in whom we see great potential,” said Olsen.
Akanji, 18, said he is proud to sign his first professional contract.
“It was exciting to be here for a trial game last time. Now I am incredibly happy, and not least proud, to sign a contract with LSK. I have had a great start and have been very well received by both my teammates and the coaches,” the youngster said.
