Botheim's return to Viking FK adds to the competition for Romano Postema, who must now fight harder for a starting position. The Champions League opponent of Feyenoord and PSV has brought back Botheim from his transfer period. Voetbal International reports that Botheim will compete with Postema and Peter Christiansen at Viking FK. The 26-year-old striker broke through in 2021 in the Bodø/Glimt shirt, becoming the club's top scorer and winning the Norwegian league title. He also impressed in Europe, scoring two goals in a 6-1 win over AS Roma in the Conference League.
