Ipswich Town and Sheffield United are both in the hunt for one of Norway’s brightest young football talents.

The player in question is Sebastian Olderheim, a gifted midfielder currently making waves at Norwegian first division side Stabaek.

Known for his vision, quick feet and ability to split defences with a single pass, the teenager has already caught the eye of scouts across Europe.

Ontheminute.com understands that both Championship sides have been keeping a close eye on Olderheim in recent month, with glowing reports feeding growing interest.

Ipswich and Sheffield United are keen to add youthful energy to their squads as they target a strong push this season.

Stabaek are braced for potential offers but will demand a fee that reflects the youngster’s promise.

With the transfer window clock ticking, this could turn into a late scramble for one of Scandinavia’s most exciting prospects.
