Telemarksavisa are reporting today that he will hold talks with German clubs this week about a potential move to the Bundesliga.
The player is even quoted explaining that he was off to Germany this week, but would not confirm why:
“Today we are heading towards Germany. Where in Germany and why I travel, I won’t mention.”
Borussia Monchengladbach fans
The report goes on to say Borussia Monchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04 and 2.Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart were all hopeful of bringing the teenage sensation to Germany in January.
It also claimed that Odd Grenland had denied receiving a bid in the region of £1.5 million for the player.
