Norway-Morocco left-back Elias Dahman of Viking FK II is reportedly being monitored by Dutch Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen as the 18-year-old defender’s future in Norway remains unclear.
The highly rated teenager, who stands at 1.85m and wears the No 14 shirt for Viking’s reserve side, is the subject of transfer speculation linking him with a move from the Norsk Tipping-Ligaen to the Dutch top flight, according to data from Transfermarkt dated 22 June 2026. The reported probability of a move is listed only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at an early and informal stage.
Dahman’s current deal with Viking FK II has no listed expiry date, and there is no recorded transfer fee or market valuation for the player, with his market value formally recorded as “none”. That absence of a defined value has fuelled discussion that he could be attainable on relatively low terms or potentially move as a free agent should his contractual situation allow.
Born on 15 July 2007, Dahman has dual Norwegian and Moroccan nationality and is registered primarily as a defender at left-back, operating on his preferred left foot. He has been developed within Viking’s system and currently represents Viking FK II, who compete in Norsk Tipping-Ligaen avdeling 4, but no senior top-flight experience or previous clubs are recorded in the latest data.
Recent statistics are limited, though Dahman has continued to feature for Viking FK II in 2026, including a recent league outing in which Viking FK II faced domestic opposition in the Norsk Tipping-Ligaen; the match data notes the fixture, date and scoreline but does not provide a detailed performance breakdown beyond confirming his participation.
With NEC Nijmegen known for giving minutes to emerging defenders, any move to the Eredivisie would represent a significant step up for Dahman and could prove a defining moment in shaping his early career, reputation and long-term potential if the rumoured transfer were to materialise.
