Daniel Job transfers from Kongsvinger to FC Dallas

Overview

Interest has grown regarding the transfer of Nigerian winger Daniel Job from the Norwegian club Kongsvinger IL. Following a breakout season in the Norwegian second tier, Feyenoord reportedly met with the player to signal interest.

FC Copenhagen submitted a bid for the 21-year-old winger valued at approximately €2.5 million including add-ons. However, Kongsvinger set a higher valuation of roughly €4 million. While Job was reportedly keen on the move to Copenhagen, competition remained from other clubs, including West Ham United and Italy’s Lecce.

Ultimately, the transfer moved to Major League Soccer, as FC Dallas completed the permanent signing of Job from Kongsvinger IL. The 21-year-old attacker signed a contract running through June 2030, with reports indicating a possible option for an additional year. The transfer fee is estimated at approximately €4.5 million ($5.2 million).

FC Dallas Chief Soccer Officer Andre Zanotta praised the winger’s potential, noting that Job’s speed and ability to attack defenders will provide a dynamic option in the final third. Job, a right-footed player who primarily operates on the left wing, arrives in the US following a productive 2026 season in Norway.
