According to a claim in the Norwegian media, Wolverhampton Wanderers have invited back Viking youngster Sondre Auklend after he impressed at the English club earlier this year.
Since Gary Goodchild was installed as Wolves’ head Scandinavia scout last year the Premier League side have increased their presence in the region.
Stavanger Aftenblad report Goodchild has invited the 15 year old back to England to be put through his paces again. The young Norwegian made an impression during his initial trial with the Premier League club after reportedly playing well against players that were above his age group.
Auklend currently plays for Viking’s U19 team and should he impress again then there’s obviously a transfer on the cards.
Goodchild was brought in to help Wolves tap into the Scandinavia market, and especially with the Swedish leagues. The former Arsenal player has 20 years’ experience playing and coaching in Scandinavia.
During the last transfer window Goodchild’s scouting was put into effect when the Midlands club signed John Kitolano from Norwegian side Odd.
