Possibly via Luton? He's a u-21 international right midfielder so if he did arrive will have a tough fight to break into the first team.

Not seen him kick a ball so cant really comment but sooner or later one of these unknown outside their own towners will pay off .

Has a lot of games under his belt, so shouldn't be far from ready for action, once familiarising himself to the league of beasts that we're in. If he has skill and a good reading of the game and packed with potential, then it should be something of a coup to grab him and keep him in our midst for a while. Good to sign old reliable pros, but a new generation is always needed and fills the likes of me with a tad of excitement - not in THAT way - of whom might come through and be a real asset.

We've had too many of these exciting young foreign prospects go on to do absolutely diddly squat so I just can't get excited anymore.
Playing international football is no indicator either, if it's for a shit country. Maksimenko was a full international for Latvia and still got nowhere near our first team.
Agdestein got called up to the Norway U21s and now finds himself in his home country's second tier.
No doubt this guy is being shipped in to replace Hambo as our latest Scandinavian prospect who'll do precisely nothing until 2/3 years down the line when his contract is terminated by mutual consent once everyone has forgotten about him.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate that these gambles have to be taken as if you turn down the opportunity to sign the next big thing before they're big, you'll be kicking yourself when they go on to be worth astronomical fees. It's just that I can't think of any examples of young foreign talent we've ever profited from.
If we ever make money on foreign players it's from established players who've been plucked from relative obscurity and managed to flourish with us, like Ulloa or... Come to think of it, have we turned a profit on any other foreign players we've brought in ever?

He followed our official Twitter page this morning so I would imagine it is almost complete. A lot of stuff flying about regarding his potential and how underrated he is so will be another addition to the already talented development academy. Also, just found he's played alongside Martin Odegaard (now at Real Madrid)
