Vålerenga club-trained players

We can verify 3 club-trained players in the Vålerenga squad: Ivan Näsberg, Odin Holm and Stian Sjøvold. Between them they have played 5% of Vålerenga's league minutes in 2026. 5 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

• Ivan Näsberg (DEF): 502 league minutes
• Odin Holm (MID): 249 league minutes
• Stian Sjøvold (MID): no league minutes yet

On the record we can verify, 8 players club-trained at Vålerenga now play for other clubs we track, led by Osame Sahraoui (LOSC Lille, value €10m), Filip Thorvaldsen (FC Twente, value €9m) and Aron Dønnum (Toulouse, value €6m).

• Osame Sahraoui · LOSC Lille · €10m
• Filip Thorvaldsen · FC Twente · €9m
• Aron Dønnum · Toulouse · €6m
• Felix Horn Myhre · West Bromwich Albion · €5m
• Magnus Riisnaes · Bodø / Glimt · €4m
• Magnus Sjøeng · Start · €1m
• Christian Borchgrevink · Hearts · €850k
• Storm Strand-Kolbjørnsen · Start · €660k

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.
