It will certainly take some time before 16-year-old Haakon Bleken Norda will make his debut in the Eredivisie, but if we are to believe the reports of his talent, that day will come.
HamKam has sold the young goalkeeper talent Haakon Bleken Norda from Rudsbygd to Dutch side Feyenoord, after just over a year in HamKam. – The 198 cm tall goalkeeper goes straight into Feyenoord’s youth venture for a payment of 421,000 euros.
HamKam sums up the time at Briskeby:
During her short stay at Briskeby, Norda received:
- Experience on the bench in the Eliteserien
- Matches for recruit and G19 teams
- Important development both as a player and a person
“I want to thank the whole club – the coaches, the players and everyone behind the scenes. A special thank you to goalkeeper coach Samba (Yngve Sandbuløkken),” Norda stated.
“HamKam has fantastic values and incredibly talented people. Although my stay was short, this has been an important step for me.”
Pride of the sporting director
HamKam’s sports director Jørgen Bjørn expresses excitement:
“This is a big day for the club and Faaberg, but most of all for Haakon himself. He is extremely dedicated and will be a great ambassador for us.”
“The fact that we sell directly to top clubs like Feyenoord confirms that our development work is bearing fruit. For a 16-year-old to take this step shows both his potential and the quality of our academy.”
Strategic Success
The transfer confirms HamKam’s commitment to young talents:
- The club’s vision of being the best development arena
- Motivation for other young players in the region
- Approval of the partner clubs
Norda concludes:
“Now an exciting chapter awaits in the Netherlands. I bring with me invaluable experience and gratitude from HamKam.”
The transfer marks HamKam’s ability to develop and sell young talents to top European clubs.
