"They have followed me for many years and it is very reassuring that they have followed for so long. I was a little nervous. They come from a big club, but the first meeting went very well," said Klaesson.

"It is a giant club and there is a lot of history. The coaching staff and the squad and everything is completely sick. Everything is mega-professional.

"They play in a special way and want to play ball all the time. There will be a transition from Vålerenga where more will be played on the result. It will be something you have to practice a lot on, given they want to play ball anyway."

He added: "Going from the Eliteserien to the Premier League is a big step. To me, it seems like the right step. The support staff here is insane. For my part, it feels very right. It's insanely big."
