Norwegian youngster turns down Blades (U23s)

[Brian Deane]

19 year old midfielder Kreshnik Krasniqi apparently rejected an offer from us to stay on at Strømsgodset. At 14 he was the youngest player to make his debut in the Norwegian second tier. Injuries have slowed down his progress a bit, but he's starting to get more playing time now in the top tier. He's got caps for Kosovo's U21 side.

I reckon he would have been a signing for Paul Heckingbottom's side at first. Maybe we'll keep an eye on him.

Krasniqi's pictured below with a familiar face who's Director of football at Strømsgodset.

Jostein looks fitter than he did when he was playing!

First team football in a decent league >>> U23's. Don't blame him

I noticed that, too. Nice to see that his wrist has finally healed, isn’t it?
