Victor Okeke joins IK Brage on loan

IF Elfsborg has officially announced the loan departure of Victor Okeke to IK Brage until the end of the season. The 20-year-old midfielder will compete in Superettan, Sweden's second division, aiming to secure more playing time.

A challenging season at Elfsborg

Signed in the summer of 2024 from Nigeria's Tripple 44 academy, Victor Okeke has yet to establish himself in Elfsborg's squad. This season, he has made just three appearances in Allsvenskan, starting only once. Faced with limited opportunities, the club opted to allow him to continue his development in an environment where he can feature more regularly.

After the announcement of his loan, the young midfielder expressed his satisfaction with the opportunity:

It’s a good chance for me to play more regularly and keep progressing. I wish Elfsborg all the best for the rest of the season.

Head coach Björn Hamberg also explained that this loan was the best solution to support the player's development. Victor Okeke will look to make an impact with IK Brage, string together matches, and gain valuable experience. At the end of his loan, he will return to Elfsborg determined to earn his place in the Swedish club’s squad.
