Vålerenga Fotball has signed 16-year-old Evenezer Awasum Forcha from third-division club Bærum for a million-dollar fee. The young player has signed a three-year contract with the Oslo club. Joacim Jonsson, sports manager at Vålerenga, says that Evenezer is one of the greatest talents in Norwegian football. He has just turned 16 and has already shown himself to be an exciting midfielder with a great drive in his game. Vålerenga had to pay a million-dollar fee to Bærum to sign the 16-year-old, who has been in demand from several Italian top clubs. In addition to the signing of Forcha, Vålerenga also secured a new first goalkeeper in the form of Danish Oscar Hedvall from Viborg. Former first goalkeeper Magnus Sjøeng was loaned out to Stabæk. Vålerenga has had a busy day on the transfer market, but sports manager Joacim Jonsson must be pleased with today's signings. Evenezer Awasum Forcha comes from a smaller club, but has already shown himself to be a great talent. He has signed a three-year contract with Vålerenga and will now have the opportunity to develop in a larger club. Vålerenga has also secured a new first goalkeeper, who will be able to compete with the other goalkeepers for the spot in goal. The signing of Forcha is a long-term investment for Vålerenga, and the club is hoping that he will be able to develop into a top player. With the signing of Hedvall, Vålerenga has also strengthened its goalkeeper position, which will be important for the upcoming season.
