Sandnes Ulf has bolstered their midfield with the signing of Norwegian-born Ghanaian talent Eirik Asante Gayi.

The 23-year-old joins the Norwegian club from Swedish side Brage, with an option to extend his contract beyond this year.

Gayi, known for his physical prowess and speed, began his football journey with Eidanger IL before moving to Odd's junior setup. He made his professional debut with Odd's first team in December 2020, playing against Molde in the Eliteserien.

Sandnes Ulf announced the signing on their official social media platforms, expressing enthusiasm for Gayi's arrival. "Eirik Asante Gayi (23) is ready for the Light Blues! The physical and fast midfielder, originally an Odd product, comes from playing Brage in Superettan in Sweden. Now he signs a permanent solution throughout the year with the light blue with an option of extension. He's ready to fight and fight for us. Welcome Eirik! handshake," the club posted.

Gayi is expected to debut for Sandnes Ulf in today's league game against Bryne, immediately strengthening their midfield.
