Rosenborg are supposed to have shown interest for the Odd player Espen Ruud.
Date of birth: 28.02.84
Place of birth:Porsgrunn, Norway
Height/weight: 180 cm / 76 kg
Position: defense/midfield
Club: Odd Grenland
Former clubs: Hei
League games/goals 2006: 16/5
League games/goals total: 46/6
The 22-year old made his debut in the Tippeliga during summer 2004, and played mostly left back/wingman until this season. Now, he does a fine job as right back in the team's new 3-5-2-formation.
Ruud has scored five goals, the latest one coming last weekend against Sandefjord, and has become one of the hottest sales objects in Skien. Rosenborg, Viking and several independent agents have shown interest, writes local Southeastern daily Telemarksavisa.
"The agents are active for the moment, but I must point out that we have received no formal contacts," Odd director Tore Andersen says.
RBK is probably interested in Ruud as a possibility for the right back position.
