Victor Olatunji: SK Beveren linked with Salt Lake striker after MLS spell

Published on: 04 September 2026

Nigeria centre-forward Victor Olatunji, currently with SK Beveren, is being linked with a move from Salt Lake to the Belgian club.

The proposed switch is a loan move from Major League Soccer to the Jupiler Pro League, with the 26-year-old’s deal at Beveren running until 30 June 2027. Olatunji is valued at €2m.

Olatunji joined Salt Lake from Sparta Prague in August 2025 for €2.15m and made 25 MLS appearances during the 2025-26 season, scoring five goals. He has now been linked with a return to European football after one campaign in the United States.

The 1.93m striker previously spent time in Cyprus and Slovakia before moving to Sparta Prague in July 2023. He helped the Czech club win the league and cup double in the 2023-24 season, making 14 Bundesliga appearances and scoring twice in the Champions League during his time there.

The potential move would place Olatunji at his latest club in Belgium, where Beveren would take on the forward for the 2026-27 campaign. His current agreement with the club is scheduled to last through the end of June 2027.
