F.C. København has agreed a loan deal with Rosenborg for Amin Chiakha. The 19-year-old will play for Rosenborg in the 2026 season. Amin Chiakha was born in Denmark with an Algerian father and a Danish mother. He was early picked up by F.C. København and has been part of their academy. In the autumn of 2023, he was part of F.C. København's U19 team, which under the leadership of Alfred Johansson, made a notable impression by topping their group in the UEFA Youth League. Chiakha was shared top scorer in the entire tournament with seven goals in eight games when FCK reached the quarterfinals. In the summer of 2024, he made his debut for the first team, where he has a total of 30 games. On the same autumn, he played two A-international matches for Algeria and scored four goals in seven games for FCK in the UEFA Conference League. After less playing time in FCK in 2025, Chiakha spent the autumn season in Vejle. Now he is ready for reunion with Noah Sahsah and Alfred Johansson, whom he played with and under in Copenhagen. Chiakha has used his friend Sahsah as a conversation partner before the transfer. - Sahsah has been my friend since I was 11-12 years old. He is a very good friend who I have talked to about Rosenborg. He has only spoken positively about the club and given a good impression. Alfred has worked with me before and I like working with him. I know what I get there and look forward to it again, says Chiakha. Rosenborg's sports leader Alfred Finnbogason believes that our new Danish striker adds something to the team that we don't have before. - First and foremost, we are glad to be able to bring Amin to Rosenborg. He has experience in a big club in Europe in F.C. København. We got information that he might be interested in trying something new and with his relationship to Alfred and me who knew the player from before, we saw an opportunity to strengthen our player squad. He gives us a new dimension in the team, something we think we don't have. Our goal for the season is to make the team stronger, says Finnbogason. - In what way does he strengthen Rosenborg? - As a striker, he is capable of fulfilling many of the demands that are set. He can run into the backroom, he can hold the ball, is a good link-up player and good at positioning himself in the box. He is still very young, but is also experienced in first-team football. I think we can be the perfect platform for Amin to take big steps this season. To show everyone at Lerkendal and in Norway what he can do. We think a lot is in place for him to have a good season, says Finnbogason. Amin Chiakha measures 192 centimeters on the tape and describes himself as a hardworking football player. - I like to play ball, says Chiakha.
