Coventry to rival Birmingham City for Norwegian sensation

Coventry City are exploring a £10 million move for Norwegian midfielder Jens Hjertø-Dahl from Tromsø.

Norway are blessed with a plethora of young players who are all breaking through at the same time and Hjertø-Dahl has been backed as the next cab off the rank.

Hjertø-Dahl plays his football in Norway and he has earned rave reviews following a number of eye-catching performances.

The 20-year-old is yet to feature for the senior Norway team but he has been capped in various age groups at youth level.

Hjertø-Dahl has scored a total of 17 goals in 96 appearances for Tromsø and a move to a major European league feels like only a matter of time.

After starting the 2026 Eliteserien in excellent form with five goals from his first 10 games, Hjertø-Dahl has caught the eye of several English clubs.

The likes of Birmingham City and Southampton were tipped as potential destinations but Coventry City have also joined the race according to On The Minute.

The Sky Blues are busy preparing for the return of top-flight football after a 25-year absence and Hjertø-Dahl is a player on their radar.

Frank Lampard will need reinforcements this summer if he is to stabilise Coventry in the Premier League.

Whilst signing players with top-flight experience is the preferred approach, the chance to sign a player with a high ceiling and a potentially significant resale value also appeals.
