Official! Haaland and Odegaard's compatriot quits Sporting, joins club | OneFootball

It’s official.Erik Ingebrethsenwill continue his career at Stromsgodset after leavingSporting. The 19-year-old Norwegian forward signed a contract valid until 2028 with the club from his home country, joining on a free transfer.

The compatriot of Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard spent the last season and a half in Lisbon, where he played for the under-23s - who drew in their opener - and Sporting’s youth team. Before moving to Portugal, he was with Viking, where he shone at under-17 level: 17 goals in 17 matches in the national championship during his final season before the move to Alvalade.

Standing at 1.92 metres, the forward had already been training with the Stromsgodset first team for about a week and a half before officially signing. Sporting director Jackie Rasmussen highlighted the player’s physical attributes: "He is a striker with great physique and pace, a different type from the young players we have today."

The striker himself said he was pleased with the move and revealed that he quickly settled in at his new club: "I had a great impression of the squad and the club. I felt part of the group from day one," said the Norwegian, who describes himself as a strong, quick forward with the ability to finish with both feet.

The new signing will therefore wear Stromsgodset’s number 23 shirt and will not have to wait long for his debut on the pitch. Erik Ingebrethsen has been called up to represent the Nordic side in the Norwegian Cup match against Sarpsborg.
