Brann capture Nigerian

BRANN have won the race to sign Nigerian international Seyi Olofinjana.

The 22-year-old impressed the Norwegian side on trial this week and has agreed terms with the Bergen club.

All that remains for Olofinjana to secure his switch is for Brann to concur on a transfer fee with the player's Nigerian club Kwara United.

Brann coach Mons Ivar Mjelde is confident Olofinjana will bolster his side's engine room.

"He's a more complete midfielder than any of those we have got today," Mjelde told BA. "He is physically strong, has a long reach and is sure on the ball."

Sedan and Anderlecht had also been interested in the talented African but Brann have offered an attractive package to Olofinjana.
