The news was confirmed by the club’s director of football Ola Andersson, who spoke to Fotbollskanalen to discuss Kimpioka’s arrival as a trainee. He said:

“He’s starting up with us now and we haven’t set an end date. It depends on how it looks in England and when they get their business started.

“But he asked if he could train here now and he’s good player.”

KImpioka started out his career in the youth academy with IK Sirius before earning a move to England with Sunderland in the summer of 2016. After impressive performances for the club’s Under-18s and Under-23s sides, Kimpioka has been called into action for the club’s senior side.

His current deal with the Black Cats expires this summer, so it awaits to be seen if the club can resolve his contract situation or if he departs upon the expiry of his deal.
