Ipswich and Coventry monitoring Norwegian sensation

Ipswich Town and Coventry City are reportedly keeping tabs on versatile winger Niklas Fuglestad at Norwegian side Viking.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Moss and he has featured prominently for Viking in this season's Eliteserien.

Fuglestad has scored two goals in 10 league appearances so far this season, with Viking currently second in the table.

The left-sided winger is capable of playing in a number of attacking roles and his performances have caught the eye of two Premier League clubs.

On The Minute have reported that Coventry and Ipswich are showing an interest in the player as they prepare for the new season.

Fuglestad is under contract at Viking until the summer of 2028 but there may be a temptation to cash in if they receive a suitable offer.

He has represented Norway at Under 20 level and he will have aspirations of breaking through into the senior team in the coming years.

Coventry and Ipswich are both in the market for reinforcements across different areas of the pitch as they plan for life in the top tier.

Whilst Fuglestad would be seen as an investment for the long-term, he already has experience of top-flight football in Norway and he will only want to move if he can see a path to first-team football.
