Nigerian right winger Viv Solomon-Otabor, finding himself surplus to requirements at Rukh Lviv in Ukraine, has set his sights on a fresh venture in Chinese football. The talented forward has inked a deal with the Cangzhou Mighty Lions, committing to the Chinese Super League side until the culmination of the current calendar year.
The announcement of Solomon-Otabor’s transfer was made by his new club, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for the London-native in the vibrant football landscape of China.
The seasoned striker, known for his prowess as a right winger, brings a wealth of experience and dynamic gameplay to the Cangzhou Mighty Lions.
Having joined Rukh Lviv in Ukraine in January 2022, Solomon-Otabor’s journey took an unexpected turn in December 2023 when he found himself on the periphery of the squad, deprived of valuable playing time.

This move to the Chinese Super League represents a fresh start for Solomon-Otabor, who is eager to make a significant impact with his new team.
The deal, valid until December 31, 2024, underscores the player’s determination to contribute to the success of the Cangzhou Mighty Lions and leave an indelible mark on Chinese football.
