Anyone know anything about him beyond young Norwegian striker.

 

He's quoted in one of the new London evenign rags today as saying he's had an offer from Spurs but is about to have trials at Bayern Munich and Liverpool too.

You won't struggle to find opinions on young Scandanavian players here.

I am a norwegian but I have never heard of him.

 

 

I'll do some research and then we'll see what I come up with.

 

I found out that he had a trial with Tottenham earlier this summer which was sucessful so they gave him a contract. He is considering it now.

 

He's 17 years old and plays for Gjøvik Lyn, a small club in Norway. He's a striker.

 

 

The article didn't mention anything about other clubs being involved.

His name is Dag Alexander Olsen (nicknamed Alec), and his birth date is 10.09.1989.

 

I know players who have played against him, and according to them he's one of the best players in his division (very strong, very direct and very pacy), but he only plays in the third highest league in Norway so it might not say much. He's never started a game for his club (has usually played 10-20 minutes), but has still managed to score six goals in five games (three in 20 minutes in his last game, and for the third goal he did everything himself, starting on his own half). He's very hard working, and got a red card in one of the games. According to the player himself he's not very skillful, but more skillful than most at the Tottenham academy.

 

He has offers from Tottenham, Lillestrøm and Ham-Kam (the latter two are in the top division in Norway), and I know Bayern Munich have offered him a trial, but I haven't heard anything about Liverpool being interested.
