Jeppe Okkels

Jeppe Okkels of Aberdeen was born in Silkeborg, Denmark on 27 July 1999 (age 25).

Jeppe Okkels, a Danish forward primarily operating as a left winger, was born on 27 July 1999, currently making him 25 years of age. Okkels plies his trade for Aberdeen, sports the number 16 jersey, and has a commanding presence on the pitch standing at 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at 11 st 11lbs (75kg).

As of Transfermarkt's latest analysis, Okkels runs up a market value of approximately £2.2m. His stint at Aberdeen, with a contract set to culminate on the 31st of May 2025, has just over a month left to run.

Before maturing into the footballer he is today, Okkels began his professional career as a trainee at Superliga club, Silkeborg, back in July 2015. During his tenure at Silkeborg, Okkels had varying degrees of league involvement, ranging from four first-team outings in the 2016-2017 season to the climax of his stint in Denmark, where he made 23 appearances, netting thrice in the 2019-2020 season.

Moving on from Silkeborg in August 2020, Okkels transferred to IF Elfsborg in Sweden's Allsvenskan. His Swedish escapade showcased an impressive record, with his best season in 2023 consisting of 30 league appearances and 11 goals. However, his spell at IF Elfsborg ended in January 2024, when he made the leap to Eredivisie's FC Utrecht. Although his time at Utrecht was short-lived, supplying five league performances.

In August 2024, Okkels was drawn towards Preston North End in England's Championship for a fee of around £1.7m. However, he had limited playing time, with only seven league appearances logged for the 2024-2025 season.

In a quick succession of transfers, Okkels made his way towards Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen on loan in January 2025. As it stands, Okkels has made a respectable tally of 16 league appearances and a single goal for his current club.

Moreover, his Scottish football journey has also seen him partake in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for Aberdeen, complete with a single start and a substitute appearance to his credit.
