Sarpsborg ended up in 9th place last season, below what is the club’s ambition for this year’s season as well. The club’s new head coach Even Sel has so far not received any “new blood” in the squad, but it should not be a matter of will, at least if we are to believe the club’s sports director Hampus Andersson. – One in, one out regime!
Sarpsborg 08 wants to get Anders Trondsen back, according to GP. But as Hampus writes to the Swedish Football Channel in a text message, it becomes difficult: “Our situation is tough”.
Sounds more like an excuse than anything else!

During the autumn, the unfortunate Anders Trondsen, 30, was on loan from IFK Göteborg to Sarpsborg. The agreement also included a call option. A call option that was never activated. Now Trondsen is a blue-and-white player again. But the Norwegian is not participating in the training camp in Spain because he has been given an extended holiday.
According to GP, Sarpsborg is still interested in the left-back, and IFK Göteborg is said to be willing to let him go for free, despite the fact that his contract is valid until the summer.
At the same time, the situation with the stakeholder Sarpsborg is difficult.
“We in Sarpsborg 08 love Trondsen, but our situation is tough. We have a lot of players, and I have received clear messages from the board of ‘one out, one in’. Right now, no player is on the threshold of leaving the club,” writes sports director Hampus Andersson to Fotbollskanalen.
During the autumn, Trondsen played seven Eliteserien games for Sarpsborg, and he played a total of 114 minutes in the series. The team finished in ninth place.
