Who is Ola Solbakken?
Ola Solbakken is a professional footballer for AS Roma.
The Mail have claimed in their deadline-day blog that Leeds are still wanting to sign Solbakken for £4m – despite interest from Greek giants Olympiakos.
He only joined Roma in January, with Jose Mourinho obtaining his signature from Bodo/Glimt.
Where and when was he born?
Solbakken was born in Norway on the 7th of September 1998 – making him currently 24 years old.
He has featured a total of eight times for his national side – scoring one goal.
What position does he play?
Ola Solbakken’s main position is a right-winger. However, the Norwegian is quite versatile and has played in all three forward positions.
It’s worth noting he is 6’1, which makes him a handful to deal with as a winger.
How good is Ola Solbakken?
He is very highly rated for multiple reasons.
Firstly, to even be considered as a Jose Mourinho signing – you must have a bit about you. The Portuguese gaffer described him as ‘quality’, but still has a lot to learn.
Could he do this at Leeds? Here’s a glimpse of what the Whites could be in for if he signs.
