Granaas stays grounded after swift FC Porto move | OneFootball

Eirik Granaas, 16, has completed a surprise switch to FC Porto after only a brief gap between first reports and confirmation. He is understood to have settled quickly at Olival.

According to O Jogo, Norwegian analyst Jonas Adnan Giaever said the speed of the deal caught observers off guard, adding that attention on the World Cup meant the market drew less focus.

Around the training ground he has shown strong application and a demeanour appreciated by those around him. He is described as a quiet character with an easy smile who keeps his feet on the ground.

In these first days he has gravitated towards fellow youngsters in the squad. He has been particularly close to those Farioli has brought up from the academy.

Early feedback points to diligence and humility, with a relaxed smile belying a somewhat introverted nature. The teenager is viewed as grounded rather than arrogant despite his fast rise.
