Silkeborg, AGF, Viborg, and Sønderjyske were among several clubs interested in signing 24-year-old Nigerian centre-forward Friday Etim before he returned to Midtjylland in the summer following a period with Fredericia. David Nielsen stated to TV 2 Sport X that there was a brief period when other clubs could have potentially bought Etim, but he believes that opportunity is no longer available for any team in the Superliga. Etim joined FC Midtjylland on July 1, 2026, and his contract is valid until June 30, 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €600k.
