The best talents in Norway
Mark sent us an email asking us about young players in Norway, here are parts of our answer:
The best Norwegian talents are probably Håvard Nordtveit, Nurnberg, Thomas Rogne, Celtic, Alexander Tettey, Rennes, plus a couple of Norwegians in Manchester United and Manchester City's Youth Academies.
However, todays list will focus on talents playing in Norway
TV2 has asked a couple of experts who they think are the biggest talents in Tippeligaen, personally I would like to add Markus Henriksen, Rosenborg, Mikkel Diskerud, Stabæk, and Joakim Våge Nilsen, Haugesund to the list that you can read below.
Per Ciljan Skjelbred, Erik Huseklepp, Tarik Elyounoussi and Ruben Yttergård Jenssen are players that have been considered talents for a long time, and should probably leave for a bigger league to get out their potensial.
Christer Kleiven was awarded the talent of the month of April, the jury said:
"Christer has taken this spring's Norway soccer by storm. Through good play and spectacular goals, he has distinguished himself greatly in the Premier League.
The season 2009 was a disappointment for Christer due to injuries and little playing time in both Start and at the U-21 national team. It is therefore impressive that he has been working hard and determined to come back and now performs at a high level of Soccer - this is evidence of strength. Christer is a determined player with a large capacity, good eye for the game, good drive with the ball and excellent finishing skills. The potential is huge and he appears to be a great role model for future Norwegian soccer talents, "
The jury consists of Nils Johan Semb, Under-21 coach Øystein Gåre and J19 coach Jarl Torske.
Auxerre is apperantly interested in signing Kleiven.
