Håvard Nordtveit (born 21 June 1990 in Vats) is a Norwegian football defender who plays for Arsenal FC and the Norway under-19 football team[1]. He has previously played for Vats 94, Skjold IL and F.K. Haugesund. He made nine league appearances[2] during the 2007 season for F.K. Haugesund, a club in the Norwegian Adeccoligaen[3]. He is considered a bright prospect for the future; during December 2006, clubs such as Manchester United, Tottenham, and Bordeaux registered their interest in signing him[4]. Reports in the Norwegian press claimed that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger went to Norway on 11 June 2007 to watch an Adeccoligaen match and begin negotiations to sign him[5]; however, members of the FKH board stated that the club had rejected Arsenal's initial bid[6]. The player himself said that his club was asking for a "supernaturally high" transfer fee[7]. The price being quoted in the Norweigan media was 20 million Norwegian krone[8] (approximately £1.5 million). A transfer fee was later finalized for £2 million between the two clubs, which was made official on July 3 2007.[9]
