Norwegian TV 2 reports that Brann is selling Aune Heggebø for over 6 million euros, which is a club record and one of the Eliteserien’s biggest transfers ever. – Brann, who are currently in 2nd place in the Eliteserien, can actually forget about league gold this season and instead use the time to count money in the back room at Brann Stadium.
Brann’s 23-year-old star striker Aune Heggebø will, if the transfer to West Bromwich Albion is completed at the level outlined, double Brann’s record sale of David Møller Wolfe last year Sporten.com.
Heggebø ready for England
The physical striker is expected to leave Bergen this weekend to complete his transfer to the Championship club, where he will be teammates with national team player Torbjørn Heggem.
With his unique combination of strength, header and goalscoring flair, he is perfect for English football. Even though it will be a big loss for Brann, this is a fantastic deal.
Strategic club management
The sale marks a strategic success for Brann’s sporting director Per-Ove Ludvigsen, who this winter chose to invest further in the striker rather than accept a lower offer.
The transfer confirms Brann’s position as one of the Eliteserien’s most professional clubs when it comes to developing and selling player talents abroad.
