West Ham supporters will be delighted to hear Havard Nordtveit billed as Fulham’s defensive saviour
On deadline day last month, Fulham signed Havard Nordtveit on a loan deal from Hoffenheim.
When the Whites travel to face West Ham United tonight, Hammers fans will be delighted to hear that Nordtveit is being billed as Fulham’s defensive saviour.
The Norwegian international spent one season in east London, and during the 2016/17 campaign, failed to impress when utilised in the centre of defence. By the end of his ill-fated tenure at West Ham, supporters concluded his best position was central defensive midfield.
But after just 16 Premier League appearances in one campaign, Nordtveit was offloaded to Hoffenheim, with his time with the Hammers going down as an underwhelming endeavour.
Yet Fulham have put a tremendous amount of faith in Nordtveit, and as billed on the club’s official of the signing, expect the 28-year-old to fill in as either a centre-back or defensive midfielder.
But with Calum Chambers impressing in the centre of midfield, it appears most likely Nordtveit will be used as a centre-back tonight at the London Stadium.
West Ham fans know all too well that Havard Nordtveit has large deficiencies when played at the back, and the Hammers support will relish the opportunity for their attack to try to expose the Norwegian in defence.
