Hull City Secures Signing of Norwegian Midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl
Hull City has finalized the acquisition of Norwegian midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl from Tromso, agreeing to a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
At just 20 years old, Hjerto-Dahl ranks as the joint-second highest scorer in the Eliteserien, having netted seven goals in 14 matches in the Norwegian league, which wraps up its season in November.
The Norway Under-21 international adds valuable European experience to Hull City as they re-enter the Premier League this season, having previously participated in qualifying matches for both the Europa League and Conference League.
“I’m very happy. It’s a massive club and I’m really looking forward to playing here,” Hjerto-Dahl expressed. “I needed a challenge and this is the biggest challenge you can get. I think this is the right step and that Hull can help me improve.”
Hjerto-Dahl marks Hull’s sixth signing during the summer transfer window, joining fellow newcomers Oscar Zambrano and Hidemasa Morita in the midfield under manager Sergej Jakirovic.
In addition to Hjerto-Dahl, the Tigers have also welcomed goalkeepers Jack Butland and Konstantinos Tzolakis, along with left-back Matt Targett.
