On to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Olympiakos never recovered from the shock at Aspmyra in the first leg, on Thursday the elite league club moved to the next level. For Haitam Alesami, it was impossible to turn down the opportunity to join the journey.
The 33-year-old comes from KFUM Oslo on a one-year contract with Glimt. The former Norwegian international (31 games), has a solid background with Palermo, Amiens, IFK Göteborg and Appolon Limassol.
“It feels good to be here. I had a desire to come to Bodø. It has been a long process, but in the end we reached the finish line, Haitam Aleesami begins to glimt.no.
“When Glimt first showed interest, I thought it was flattering. Then you see what Glimt has been up to in recent years, it is clear that it is almost impossible to say no to it, I have followed it properly, and I have played with some of the guys before in the national team. It is clear that Bodø/Glimt have asserted themselves properly in Europe the last couple of years, and are even in a quarter-final in the Europa League now, it is big and strong. Obviously, you want to be part of a group like that,” says the defender.
