Viv Efosa Solomon-Otabor (born 2 January 1996) is an English professional footballer who played most recently as a winger for UAE Pro League club Al Orooba.

[4] He is the nephew of Nigerian international footballer Thompson Oliha, and his father, Victor-Banks Otabor, played domestically for Bendel Insurance, NNPC and Eagle Oil.

[5] He attended Bishop Thomas Grant School, Streatham, and supported Manchester United as a boy;[2] his friends included fellow Anglo-Nigerian future footballer Joe Aribo.

[6] As a youngster, Solomon-Otabor played football with Hampton & Richmond Borough,[2] and was a member of Crystal Palace's academy,[7] before taking up a scholarship with Birmingham City in July 2012.

[13] Birmingham took up the option for a further year on his contract,[14] and he showed enough progress in pre-season and into the start of the 2015–16 season that manager Gary Rowett decided to keep him at the club instead of allowing him out on loan again.

Rowett remarked on his physical development and his improved defensive work, rated him as "probably the quickest player we have got in the squad", and highlighted his having "roasted first team defenders in training".

[17] He made his Football League debut on 15 September at home to Nottingham Forest, replacing David Cotterill for the last ten minutes of what proved to be Birmingham's first defeat of the season.

[20] After twelve substitute appearances in all competitions, Solomon-Otabor made his first start on 28 December, replacing the rested Demarai Gray for the visit of MK Dons.

[21] He remained in the starting eleven for the next match, at home to Brentford, with Gray about to complete his transfer to Leicester City of the Premier League,[23] and a few days later signed a three-and-a-half-year contract, due to expire at the end of the 2018–19 season.

[29] He made his debut as a second-half substitute in the opening fixture of the season,[30] and put in what the Blackpool Gazette called a "lively" performance in the next match, the EFL Cup defeat away to Wigan Athletic.

[30] Behind Jota, Jacques Maghoma and loanee Connor Mahoney in the pecking order, Solomon-Otabor was used sparingly by Birmingham in the early part of the 2018–19 season.

[36] On his return to Birmingham, the club offered him a one-year contract,[37] which he chose to decline, instead signing a three-year deal with CSKA Sofia of the Bulgarian First League.
