Vegar Eggen Hedenstad asks to leave Valerenga
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Vegar Eggen Hedenstad says Valerenga went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Henrik Bohinen steps up from the Valerenga academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Henrik Bohinen 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.
