Akpabio, who is in his first season in Nigeria’s elite class, has scored 14 goals to emerge as the hottest property in the highly rated NPL with four matches to the end of the season.

The Norwegians are confident that Akpabio can fit into their plans after monitoring his performance in Nigeria.

Akpabio told SuperSport.com that he’s prepared for the task ahead.

“This is the biggest break of my soccer career.

The Nigeria Premier League has made me a better player and it’s the ambition of every footballer to play in Europe. I intend to maximise the opportunities available.

“God has been good to me and I believe my goals can bring the desired results for Viking,” Akpabio said to SuperSport.com.

The striker expressed gratitude to his Nigerian team, Plateau United.

Sources close to Viking’s coach Age Hariede told SuperSport.com that the club wants to utilise the Norwagian transfer window, which opens on Monday to strengthen the squad with the Nigerian forward.

Stavanger based newspaper; Rogaland Avis, has already profiled Akpabio in one of their editions and the fans are eager to see their Nigerian star.

The Plateau United star has impressed followers of the NPL with his pace, sublime skills, brilliant first time touch, powerful shots and deadly finishing.
