The Siddis have just finished an Eliteserien season that became increasingly stronger. Viking landed in 3rd place, which was actually what Sporten.com their experts came up with before the season. We also got Bodø/Glimt the gold correctly and almost Molde which we predicted in 4th place. We also predicted Rosenborg and not Brann in 2nd place.
Well, stay tuned early next year we predict the 2025 season and as it looks now, Viking will be a medal candidate. The Stavanger club has conceded too many goals to climb all the way to the top, the signing of 21-year-old centre-back Henrik Falchener shows they know the defence needs to be strengthened.
According to Transfermarkt, Viking has paid Egersund 250,000 euros.

Henrik Falchener comes from Egersund and has signed a three-year contract with the Siddis. Viking confirms this on their own pages. “It is very big to sign for Viking. It is one of Norway’s biggest clubs, and they play good football and are good at developing players. Next year, Europe awaits and I am very much looking forward to being a part of this”
The 21-year-old has previously played for Ørn-Horten and Sandefjord.
“It’s been absolutely huge, and I never thought it would happen so quickly, even though I’ve always had a dream. It has gone very fast, and it is very nice that it has been noticed, says Falchener.
Sports director Erik Nevland is naturally pleased with the new signing. “We are very happy to have landed this agreement with Henrik and EIK. Henrik is an exciting player who has had a very good season in Egersund. He fits the profile we have been looking for and we see a very great potential in him”
