A month and a half after signing with Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod, 23-year-old Lars Olden-Larsen is ready for Swedish BK Haken. At the same time, Rostov player Magnus Knudsen (20) is close to concluding an agreement with Lillstrom.
FIFA has concluded that all players affiliated with Russian clubs can be considered without a contract until June 30, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.
Thus, Olden Larsen was more or less free to sign for other clubs. In principle, his agreement with Nizhny Novgorod will be applied again from July 1.
Olden Larsen is one of three Norwegian players belonging to a Russian club – and the first to take the opportunity to sign a short-term contract in line with the new rules.

At Häcken, he appointed former national team manager Per-Mathias Høgmo as head coach. Norway’s Thomas Totland and Evin Hovland also play in the club. Norwegian half Jonathan Rasheed does the same, while Tobias Heinz is loaned to Sarpsborg 08.

In February, Olden Larsen was sold for the largest sale in Mjøndalen’s history, according to the same club.
