Who knows Tord Johnsen Salte? Person. This Norwegian player arrived in 2015 at the OL training center, at the age of 16, and has never succeeded with Les Gones (a match with the reserve team) and even at the top level (he plays now in Norwegian D3). The recruitment unit of the Lyon club had come to recruit him from Bryne FK, where he played Erling Haaland !
Olympique Lyonnais completely missed the Norwegian star, who was certainly 15 at the time (and who could not yet leave his country), but who was already the local prodigy. Left winger because a little skinny, Haaland started with the pros, in Norwegian D2, in May 2016, at the age of 15.
The worst thing for the Lyon leaders is that they went to this city in southwestern Norway to sign Johnsen Salte in the Haaland house! Erling was thus present to see his friend commit to OL. The future “cyborg”, he had a trial at Hoffenheim (which did not give the salary claimed by the player’s father) and continued and finished his training at Molde FK.
Golazo, the Sports.fr podcast, looks back on the hatching of the current striker of Manchester City. Born in Leeds in 2000, where his father (Alf-Inge Haaland) played, Erling Braut Haaland grew up in Norway. It was in his own country that he became a potential crack. He was already a machine when he arrived at Salzbourg at 18, unstoppable scorer on the field but also ultra-professional outside.
