Stefan Johansen

He's not good enough for the EPL. Not yet at least. He's a kind of all-action MF that can run all day.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to battle Everton for the signature of Stromsgodset midfielder Stefan Johansen.
SportsDirect News revealed the Toffees’ interest in the 22-year-old in last month with new manager Roberto Martinez wanting his club to table an official offer for the Norwegian youngster.
The midfielder has represented Norway at every level up to Under-23 and sources have said that Tottenham are now thought to be prepared to enter the race for Johansen.
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas recently lost out to Everton in the race for Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu on a temporary switch but will go head-to-head with the Spaniard once again.

Cool club name, at least!

He's one of the best players in the Norwegian top division and one of the most promising young players in Norway at the moment. I doubt he'll be signed for the first team, but I think he is one of a few Norwegian players that could do a job for a mid- to lower table team in the Premier League.

If we are to sign him I suspect he'll either be loaned back to Strømsgodset or to another club in England as I can't see him competing with the midfielders we already have. However, if Parker and Huddlestone are sold I think he could be decent enough backup together with Tom Carroll.

Good. We need a midfielder.

 

[PrettyColors]

We could sure use some more center midfielders.

If Parker and Hudd leave, plus Livermore maybe, I do actually think we need to add a young DM to backup Sandro, assuming Paulinho plays the box to box role.
DM - Sandro
CM - Dembele, Holtby. (Carroll)
B2BM - Paulinho, Sigurdsson.

Since we are talking about Norwegian players, how do you like Thomas Drage?

Decent player, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to us being linked with Johansen?

 

[rambu]

Not relevant at all, just a Norwegian player that I'd like to keep an eye and get more info on. A good young left winger altho. he's not good enough for us at the moment.

Would be a good and cheap squad player if we get rid of Parker, Livermore and Huddlestone
Best player of an U21 team superior to the english. Will never hold Sandro out of the team, but neither complain about time on the bench. Aggresive, hard working, ballplaying
