Viv Efosa Solomon-Otabor

Viv Efosa Solomon-Otabor

Viv Solomon-Otabor attacks space with rapid bursts and direct dribbles down the left flank, using his pace to threaten the channel. Viv Solomon-Otabor broke through at Birmingham City (2014–2016), earning the Young Player of the Season award in 2015–16. He then gained senior exposure on loan. A European chapter followed with CSKA Sofia in 2019–2020, including Europa League experience. Internationally, he earned a Nigeria call-up in 2019. Solomon-Otabor's left/ inverted winger role lets him drive at defenders and cut inside for shots, linking play with one-touch layoffs. He presses high to force turnovers and pins centre-backs with runs beyond the line. In his UAE move with Al Orooba, he remains a versatile attacking threat and finishes moves from wide areas.
