Adelaide United have signed their latest Danish “Viking”, with striker Ken Ilso officially joining the Reds on a one-year deal on Friday.
The 31-year-old has scored a lot of goals playing in Asia in recent years, with Reds fans hoping Ilso can translate that form into the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 Season.

Ken Ilso to Adelaide is an interesting signing. I watched him score the winner against my Tampines Rovers in 2016 and have wondered how decent S-League strikers would go in Australia. Guess I'll find out.
