The Cardiff-born prodigy has five goals already this season for Southampton, and also scored on his competitive international debut. Incredibly, five of the six strikes have been free-kicks.
Elsewhere, United have allegedly been rebuffed in their attempts to sign Norwegian starlet Havard Nordtveit from Haugesund.
A statement from the Norwegian club claimed that, while talks had ended without agreement, the door remains ajar for future negotiations.
Usual suspects Owen Hargreaves and Fernando Torres continue to be linked with Old Trafford, although Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid remain vocal in their intent to keep hold of the pair.

wtf?? another leftback??? granted heinze has been poor this season but still, we have evra, heinze, silvestre and even if need be that muppet richardson who can play lb, the first 3 who are generally good players anyway, if theres one position we really dont need strengthening its lb (and cb and gk).
does anyone know anything about this Norweigan kid?? it doesnt even say what position he plays
it looks like ole's helping out with the scouting system, were dipping into the norweigan youth systems atm. maybe thats to be his future role (or maybe im just thinking too simply...)
