One - cap Nigeria international Emmanuel Ekpo has suggested that his limited playing opportunities for Molde this season was due to his contract situation. <br /><br />Since the start of the Tippeligaen , the attacking midfielder has only featured in one game, lasting 46 minutes on the pitch in the home clash against IK Start at the start of this month.<br /><br />The Beijing Olympic silver medalist has been offered a fresh two - year contract but the sticking point is that he has refused to accept the terms proposed by the two - time Norwegian champions.<br /><br />&ldquo;There was an offer no doubt from Molde but we have not reached an agreement yet. And that is the reason I am not being fielded in matches.<br /><br />&ldquo;There is a disagreement on the terms that have been offered. I am not sure when I am signing, hopefully sometime soon if this can be resolved,&rdquo; Emmanuel Ekpo told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />Since the 26 - year - old joined Molde from Columbus Crew in 2012, he has recorded 39 appearances in the Norwegian top flight.<br />
