Excerpt: Havard Nordtveit (born 21 June 1990) is a Norwegian footballer who currently plays for Borussia Monchengladbach and the Norway national football team. Nordtveit began his career as a youth in Norway with Vats 94 and Skjold. On 20 August 2006 he became the youngest player ever to play for Haugesund, as he was selected for the starting line-up in a 2-0 victory against Sogndal at Haugesund Stadium. He made nine league appearances during the following season for Haugesund in the Norwegian First Division. That season he also appeared in the Norwegian Football Cup, being in the starting line up in the 1-6 victory against Djerv 1919 (1st round), and coming on in the 33rd minute in a 4-0 victory over Lov-Ham scoring one goal (third round). Haugesund went all the way to the final. Arsene Wenger traveled to Norway on 11 June 2007 to watch an Adeccoligaen match and begin negotiations to sign Nordtveit. The members of the FKH board stated that the club had rejected Arsenal's initial bid. The player himself said that his club was asking for a "supernaturally high" transfer fee. The price being quoted in the Norwegian media was 20 million Norwegian kroner (approximately 1.7 million at the time). A transfer fee was later finalized on 3 July 2007 for 500k initially, rising to 2m after 40 first team appearances. Haugesund captain Kevin Nicol and former Norway coach Nils Johan Semb praised him as the brightest defensive talent in Europe. He made his Arsenal debut in their first pre-season friendly against Barnet on 14 July 2007. He came on after half-time, replacing Kerrea Gilbert. He was named captain of Arsenal's reserve squad for the first match of the 2007-08 FA Premier Reserve League season; in an interview with Arsenal.com, Nordtveit said he was "honoured" to have been named captain, and that he hoped to continue in that role in the future. In the final game of the 2007-08 season he was named on the substitutes' bench against Sunderland and given the shirt number 55. On 18
