Amin Chiakha’s remarkable run puts Rosenborg forward in the Eliteserien spotlight

Amin Chiakha has emerged as one of the Eliteserien’s standout players after scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in his past 10 matches for Rosenborg.

The Algeria forward has been in outstanding form for the past two months, finding the net regularly while creating problems for opposition defences. His performances have made him one of the Norwegian top flight’s main attractions.

Chiakha’s recent run has also brought individual recognition. After winning the award for the league’s best young player in July, he has received the honour for a second successive time.

The latest prize underlines the level of his form and reflects his growing influence at Rosenborg. Chiakha has scored more than once every match on average across his past 10 appearances, while his three assists demonstrate that his contribution extends beyond finishing chances.

Since completing a permanent move to Rosenborg, the Algerian has quickly become a central figure in the team’s attacking system. His goalscoring record has taken him to the top of the Eliteserien scoring charts.

His consistency has made him increasingly difficult for opponents to contain. Alongside his finishing, Chiakha’s ability to create opportunities and remain involved in dangerous attacking moves has established him as Rosenborg’s main attacking reference point.

That form has also led to a return to the Algeria squad. Having missed the 2026 World Cup, Chiakha is back with the Fennecs at a particularly positive stage of his club career.

He joins the national team with 11 goals and three assists from 10 matches, giving him a strong platform as he returns to international duty. His performances in Norway have continued to attract attention, with his current sequence showing no sign of slowing down.

For Rosenborg, Chiakha’s impact has become a defining feature of their attack. For the player himself, the recent awards, leading position in the Eliteserien scoring standings and recall by Algeria mark a significant period in his development.
