1. KRISTIAN LONEBU🇳🇴 (Aalesund)
• The first player on this list is Aalesund striker Kristian Lonebu. The 19 year old enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2025, playing a key role as Aalesund secured promotion to the top flight. Lonebu recorded 7 goals and 3 assists in 25 league appearances, with much of his impact coming in the latter stages of the season when he truly began to flourish.
• Lonebu profiles as a classic number 9, combining impressive pace with strong physical attributes. His athleticism allows him to thrive in open games where he can attack space and stretch defensive lines. When the ball drops to him in the box, his finishing can be quick and decisive. He is capable of producing moments of individual quality with either foot and has shown that he can create scoring opportunities seemingly out of nothing.
• At times he can drift out of games, but he possesses a natural poacher’s instinct and an ability to appear at decisive moments. Given his age and relative inexperience, there is clear room for development, particularly in his duel play and in the relational aspects of the game such as link up play and decision making in structured attacks.
• Interest from top Norwegian sides including Bodø/Glimt and Molde underlines his growing reputation. As Aalesund adjust to life in the top division, the team is likely to face a challenging season. Even so, Lonebu has the tools and potential to continue his upward trajectory and establish himself as one of the league’s most exciting young forwards.
