Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga has officially signed a new long-term contract with Norwegian club Molde FK, extending his stay until 2031 after attracting interest from several top European clubs.
Sports247 reports that Molde FK moved swiftly to secure the future of the highly-rated Nigerian youngster following his impressive performances for both club and country.
The new deal underlines the club’s confidence in Daga’s immense potential and its desire to build around one of Nigeria’s brightest midfield prospects.
The contract renewal comes just few weeks after a major turning point in Daga’s career. In July, the Frostating Court of Appeal acquitted the 19-year-old of the sexual assault allegations that had kept him sidelined for 11 months.
Following the verdict, Molde FK confirmed that the Nigerian international was cleared to return to competitive football, bringing an end to a lengthy period of uncertainty that interrupted his rapid development.
Daga, who rose to prominence with Nigeria’s Flying Eagles, has earned widespread praise for his composure, defensive intelligence and ability to dictate the tempo from midfield.
His performances have made him one of the most sought-after young talents in Scandinavian football, prompting interest from clubs across Europe before Molde secured his long-term commitment.
The new agreement represents a significant vote of confidence from the Norwegian giants as they prepare for future domestic and European campaigns.
For Daga, the extension offers stability and a fresh opportunity to resume the upward trajectory of a career widely expected to reach the highest level. With the legal proceedings now behind him, the Nigerian midfielder will be aiming to repay Molde’s faith by becoming a key figure in the club’s midfield.
At just 19, Daniel Daga’s journey is only beginning, and his long-term future in Norway could prove to be another important stepping stone toward establishing himself among Europe’s elite footballers.
