Start club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 4 players club-trained at Start now play for other clubs we track, led by Sander Sjøkvist (KFUM, value €1m), Lars-Jørgen Salvesen (Derby County, value €960k) and Jasper Silva Torkildsen (Fredrikstad, value €660k).

• Sander Sjøkvist · KFUM · €1m
• Lars-Jørgen Salvesen · Derby County · €960k
• Jasper Silva Torkildsen · Fredrikstad · €660k
• Eirik Wichne · Sarpsborg 08 · €540k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
