In March, the former academy player at Liverpool received the phone call he had been waiting for. National team manager Ståle Solbakken invited to a national team gathering, the debut came against Moldova. Now the 23-year-old is also rewarded with a move to the league with one of the toughest derbies in the world.
On Saturday, Luton Town confirmed that Aasgaard has signed with Rangers FC and the Scottish Premiership. It was thus a very short stay at Luton before moving on. The Luton manager says it is a bittersweet experience to see the 23-year-old leave the club after only six months.

-It’s bittersweet. We are obviously disappointed to see Thelo leave, but unfortunately, after our relegation, there was a feeling that he would be highly sought after,” coach Matt Bloomfield begins to the club’s website.
“To sign him in January, we agreed a conditional buyout clause – something this club has only done in exceptional circumstances – which was only triggered in case we played League One football this season,” the coach continues.
This meant that the transfer was entirely his choice, and if it hadn’t been for his national team coach’s comments, that he had to play at a certain level to go to the World Cup, we might have persuaded him to stay, but the fee was met, and his future success will be of great benefit to the club going forward. says the Luton coach.
“I think we should be filled with pride, because we have brought in a boy from League One, and he is now on his way to a big club that will play in the Champions League qualifiers. I would also like to thank Thelo, because he has been fantastic for us. He has acted with integrity in every moment he has been with us, and on the way out he has also been a diamond boy,” Bloomfield concludes.
