Agdestein's Dream Move

Posted on: Tue 31 Aug 2010

Albion striker Torbjorn Agdestein, 18, is excited at the prospect of fulfilling his dream to play football in England.

The Norwegian Under-19 international signed a one-year deal with the Seagulls today, after impressing boss Gus Poyet during a trial period, and although set to feature regularly in the Development Squad, he has eyes for the senior side.

He told seagulls.co.uk, "I'm very happy to be here. I don't know too much about the club and I haven't got to know all of the players yet, but at the same time it's very exciting.

"Every kid that plays football in Norway dreams of playing football in England so I'm really excited, and it's a great opportunity for me, so I'm looking forward to the season ahead.

"I'm a striker, and I like to make the run in behind the defenders to make the most of my speed, but for now I need to play my normal football in training, and hopefully I will prove myself to the manager."

Agdestein signed from Norwegian Second Division club Stord FC, where he scored 36 goals in 75 appearances.
