Sarpsborg has identified Danish winger Michael Opoku from Lyngby as a suitable replacement for Ørjasæter. Although he only began playing for the Danish team last year, the 20-year-old has shown qualities that Sarpsborg believes will help him succeed in their system. An agreement for his transfer has been finalized during the current window, with the move expected to be completed shortly, well ahead of the transfer window's closure. His arrival is anticipated to infuse Sarpsborg with new energy and attacking options as they adjust to life without one of their key players. Opoku's contract with Lyngby was originally set to expire on June 30, 2028, and Transfermarkt estimates his value to be €300k.
