Guy has been called up for national squad at only 15 years old.

The national squad of Norway...

great achievement nonetheless.

Might become youngest player for a national team since the early 1900's.

[Zedie]

Man's got decent trekkers for 15 years. The only thing I understood from that video was "Lionel messi", but it's a bit too soon to take it to those levels.

Still, I'm sure a few scoffed when a young Ibra started out in Sweden (another pub league).

A decade ago when PSV faced AC Milan in the semi-finals of the CL they played with a 15-16 year old midfielder in the starting XI, I believe he was the youngest then.
Went completely of the radar after a year or 2.

Great he got called up for the national squad of Norway, proves he can play, but does not prove he is the new Ramsey

[Zenith]

No-one implied he'll be the new Ramsey though...

Besides, apples and oranges.

Nobody's saying he is. And I was talking about international football, so some kid playing a CL match has no relevance. We've had plenty of those starting for Arsenal (fabregas, wilshere, walcott, etc)

good achievement

doubt he'll make it tbh

he only looks good because he plays his football in norway

you put crowley at 15 in norway and he's look 4x better

I havent read anywhere that we're interested to be honest.

"4x better" what an outrageous exaggeration.

Crowley is a big talent, no question, but so is this young lad. Clearly some serious Arsenal-tinted shades there, mate.

Also; "doubt he'll make it" - based on what exactly? You haven't even seen him play once, what's there to suggest he will not make it as a professional football player?

Name me a dozen 15-year-olds who are currently reaching the same level at senior level football, then come back and tell me there's nothing exceptional or special about what this young lad is doing.

Bet you won't even manage 5.

tbf it's based on the football videos that i have seen and not on much else

i dont think he will make it because he seems a tad slow and none of the things he has done is spectacular tbf. He might be a decent enough prospect but by make it i always mean at the top level. I doubt he will make it tbh.

Norweigian footballer is at an all time low right now, the national team is in the worst condition that i have seen for years but so im not all to surprised that they're willing to give this kid a chance. Right now there are a number of young players that are a lot more promising.

A player like him will always get more opportunity to show himself because of the league he plays in and the nation he is from. This kid if he was english wouldnt be playing a higher level than u16s imo.

[Schlandi]

Heavily linked with the Bundesliga (Bayern, Dortmund and Stuttgart) according to reports here he switched from spanish to german as 2nd foreign language in the school. plus he already visited the Dortmund facilities with Klopp as guide and had a trial session at the Bayern youth teams.

[gooney]

lol this would be an absolute disaster

looks no better than olsson, ive seen the video before he's just a very neat player

if we got him for free then fair enough but i wouldnt pay for him

Olson at 15 was no where near norkoppings first team which is far worse than strømsgodset. Sometimes people really overrate some of our youngsters. this kid at 15 is an international and senior player. Norwegian league is stronger than the swedish one and a richer one
