Leo Hjelde has been tipped as "the next Virgil van Dijk" by Ross County manager John Hughes.
(...)
"The quality he has shown, the physical challenge, playing real men's football and standing up to it - it's been a wonderful experience for Leo.
"Before he came, Leeds United were after him. I think he had to sign an extension to his contract for the loan to go through."

New York City FC defender Malte Amundsen is settling in nicely with his new teammates. The defender agreed to join NYCFC from Danish side Vejle in February but only managed to complete the move earlier this month after receiving his visa. The 23-year-old was able to make his debut for the Boys in Blue against D.C. United at the weekend and speaking on Tuesday revealed he has found it easy to settle into the group.
“I would say that everyone has been very nice and maybe even nicer than what I expected,” Amundsen said. “Of course, there’s always some relation between Scandinavian players and so I’ve been talking Danish with Gudi [Thorarinsson] I’ve been talking Danish with Anton [Tinnerholm], and they’re trying to help me out as much as possible, so that’s very great. But also to mention all the others, they have also been amazing.”

Former AZ and Rosenborg right back Jonas Svensson could be the man to solve Celtic's right back problems following his release from the Dutch club.
Social Media reports suggest that Svensson could be on the move to Parkhead with the 28-year-old free agent looking a very attractive proposition for the club.
Svensson has vast amounts of experience playing in the Tippeligaen and Eredevise, as well as , a host of European appearances.
He also has 23 caps for the Norwegian national side. If he completes the move to Parkhead he would be the sixth Norwegian to sign for the club.

It appeared the main chapters of Diskerud's career had already been written by this point but, in January 2018, he signed a four-and-a-half year contract with Manchester City. A stunning dream move, a football fairy tale? In reality, it was all about money.
Man City signing Diskerud enabled NYCFC, a member of the City Football Group, to reduce their wage bill. Man City could then sell the player for a profit using the kudos of him being attached to the bigger-name club. His move wasn't even officially announced by the Citizens, but rather his sponsor, Umbro.
(...)
He was eventually sold on by Man City to Turkish club Denzilispor for an undisclosed fee in January 2021 and now his nomadic career has taken him to Cyprus with Omonia Nicosia.
Remarkably, he is still only 31, meaning he there is still time for him to play in a few more countries, and add a few more chapters to this bizarre tale.

Zachariassen:
– You haven't lived anywhere else other than Norway. Did you have a hard time moving to Hungary?
– It was a big change in my life. I changed not only a club and a city but a country. Suddenly, everyone around me started speaking English, there was a lot of culture mixing in the dressing room. It's interesting to experience that. As we prepare for training, they speak French in one corner, Serbian in the other, and German in the third.
– And Norwegian in the fourth, right?
– Tokmac Nguen and I really do speak in our native language, and Franck Boli understands everything in Norwegian, but I mostly speak English to the others. Luckily, I settled in quickly, the teammates accepted me, and we became more and more fond of Budapest; it is a beautiful city.
– Is your family also having a good time?
– Our daughter was born a few months ago back home in Norway. She came to Budapest when she was three weeks old, and says everything is beautiful here... Joking aside, my wife is also having fun in Hungary.
– Do you enjoy being a father?
– Very much so. My life has changed a lot in this. As my wife put it, the video game era is over... I enjoy every moment of my time with my little girl.

Brattbakk:
“There was interest in me from Italy, Greece and France because I was playing really well for Rosenborg.
“In the end, it was Celtic that made the strongest move and I don’t think the negotiations lasted long because they wanted me and it was an easy choice for me.

Midtsjo joining Galatasaray is an amazing transfer for a person like me, who watched Midtsjo develop and become a good player then join my native club. But there is a side of me that feels that Galatasaray is not a good match atm for Midtsjo, as there are management issues, and a great deal of change within the club. Combined with immense pressure from the supporters, I am afraid this might not work
Still, best of luck Fredrik! |

Tommy Leigh’s 76th-minute strike looked to have handed Accrington a point before March swept in a ball from Chelsea loanee Bryan Fiabema.
(...)
Manager Ian Burchnall praised his young Forest Green side as they claimed the narrow victory.
(...)
The former Notts County boss hailed the impact of Bryan Fiabema, who teed up March’s winner with his first touch.
He added: “I spoke to people in Rosenborg about him and you aren’t a bad player if you are at Chelsea – he had a positive impact but I’m not sure about his hair cut.”

Akintola:
It is so scary at the moment because the death toll is increasing. The city where my club is based is not actually affected by the earthquake. I have never experienced this in my life watching people on television lose their lives and valuables while others scamper for safety from one city to another. Our city, Adana at the moment is filled with those who lost their homes to the earthquake. But efforts are being made to ensure we stay safe here and pray that this ends soonest because the death recorded so far is not good at all, but again those lives rescued makes all of us very happy. The way some of the survivors are living is not nice at all. Looking out through the window blinds, I see groups of survivors wrap themselves in blankets, sitting on plastic chairs trying to keep themselves warm around a fire because it’s freezing cold here. Some also stay in mosques and other parts on the streets.
How scared were you when the earthquake begun?
I was very scared because we felt the tremor like they were drilling a wall close to your house. I stayed close to the windows most times not to be caught off guard and if I had to run for safety, but soon after we were contacted by our club that our city was safe and that we should not panic. But nobody believed that until we attended training. Watching off your shoulders isn’t really the best way to live because nobody knows what would happen next.

"I have worked very hard to be ready for this, and the medical staff have taken very good care of me, also.

January will mark seven years since Empoli midfielder Liam Henderson emigrated to Italy.
He can scarcely believe that the 21-year-old boy who arrived in Bari is now a 28-year-old with five Serie A and Serie B clubs under his belt, never mind that he is the missionary who rekindled the idea of Scots playing, and succeeding, in Italian football.
“I hope it is seen that way,” Henderson tells The Athletic. “I like to think that anyone who saw me thought I had the right attitude and maybe they should dip into the Scottish market more. That’s the fairytale and if I have rubbed off on the Italians then it means a lot.
“It was never the intention to stay this long but I have loved it and the Italian clubs seem to like me as well. I’ve spent my adult career in Italy, so Italy is my market now rather than, say, the English Championship.”
(...)
Learning the language is the biggest thing Henderson recommends to any other Scottish or British players thinking of moving to Italy or another foreign country.
“You can get by with just English but you’ll never truly feel part of the team,” he says.
“In the first year or two, me and my team-mates didn’t really get to know each other personally. At times, I wanted to say something regarding the game but I couldn’t, so it could feel a bit lonely.
“I never did lessons. I constantly sat next to Italians in the dressing room, listening in and being a pain by asking questions of the foreigners who could translate. I was hearing the same phrases and words every day so I picked them up.”
