Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur & Liverpool Scouts Watch Solomon Owello


Scouts representing Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and German Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin were in attendance at Lerkendal Stadium when Rosenborg clashed with IK Start in the Tippeligaen on Thursday night. It is unclear at this point the players that were being scouted by the European powerhouses though Norwegian publication Fædrelandsvennen has speculated that the main focus was on IK Start's teenage sensation Kristoffer Ajer.
 
Norwegian intermediary Atta Aneke, who has advised Solomon Owello in the past, has played down talk that the English Premier League clubs came to run the rule over the attacking midfielder.
 
''Everybody knows who the scouts came to watch. They came to watch the 17-year-old, Kristoffer Ajer,'' said Atta Aneke.
 
''Owello is a good player, fantastic and humble guy but he hasn't played 75 percent of national team's matches over the last two years so it would be difficult for him to move to England.''
 
After putting himself in the shop window at the 2007 Fifa Under 20 World Cup, Owello trialed with Manchester United before agreeing terms with IK Start the following year.
 

The 26-year-old set up the 90th minute goal scored by Kristoffer Ajer in the 3-2 loss to Rosenborg.
