Hi I live in Tromsø, Norway.

Norwegian agent Rune Hauge and Newcastle United chief scout Charlie Woods are in Tromsø, the "capital" of northern norway today (28.05.03). They are here to watch the game between Tromsø and Stabæk, and the talented forward of Tromsø FC; Morten Gamst Pedersen.

Pedersen is a very talented forward. He is fast, a good dribler, and an excellent shooter. He scored several "Beckham"-curved freekicks last season. He is excellent with his left foot, but just as good with his right foot. He became the top scorer in norwegian division one last season, and he is doing just fine so far this season also!

He is 23years of age, 180cm high, 73kg. I believe the estimated asking price for him is about £3.5mill-£4.0mill. If is to be considered good enough to take a firm plave in the starting 11 of the silverware ambitious NUFC I don't know, but he is definately one of the major talents in Norway at the moment, and a player for the future to come.
