Southampton and Bristol City ‘to monitor’ Kristoffer Askildsen ahead of January | OneFootball

Southampton are tracking Viking midfielder Kristoffer Askildsen ahead of the January window, with Bristol City also watching his situation. According to On The Minute, neither club has made a formal approach and a strong end to the Eliteserien could hasten any move.

The Championship pair are understood to be assessing the 25-year-old’s profile with a view to a possible deal in the coming months.

Oslo-born Askildsen is in his second full season with Viking and has established himself as a regular in Norway’s top flight.

He has experience outside his homeland too, having featured for Sampdoria in Italy and for FC Midtjylland in Denmark.

An athletic, box-to-box presence, he is comfortable on the ball and competes well in central areas.

Whether a Championship switch would appeal remains unclear, but the chance to aim for the Premier League could be attractive. Any move in January would depend on how his season finishes and whether Southampton choose to act.
