Tor Erik Larsen stands alone
9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

A move Jonathan Hutters would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jonathan Hutters is living that version at Aalesund, and it tends to show in the first month.

Jørgen Bøe agrees terms with Egersund
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Aalesund people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Aalesund go back to the board over Emil Ødegaard
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $284.4K — a club that wants Emil Ødegaard enough to be asked twice.

Markus Solbakken is a medical away from Aalesund
The deal with AGF is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Aalesund bid $250.0K for Emil Ødegaard
The offer went to KFUM Oslo this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Emil Engqvist signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emil Engqvist and Aalesund agree another 4 years.

Henrik Svensson steps up from the Aalesund academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Henrik Svensson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Aalesund promote Thomas Hauge from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Thomas Hauge has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
In brief
