Togolese Goalkeeper Housnein Agodomou Eyes Next Move After Hammerfest Loan
By BBC Sport Africa | Oslo
Togolese goalkeeper Agodomou Housnein has confirmed he will leave Norwegian third-division side Hammerfest at the end of November, bringing an end to his loan spell. While his next destination remains uncertain, interest is already surfacing from top-flight clubs in Sweden and Belgium.
“My contract ends at the end of November, and I will be leaving the club. I haven’t decided where I’ll go next,” Housnein told reporters. “But there are top division clubs in Sweden and Belgium looking for me. With the next transfer window, I’ll know for sure.”
The 21-year-old, who signed a three-year deal with Norwegian Eliteserien side Tromsø before being loaned out to gain match experience, has been attracting attention for his performances despite playing in Norway’s lower leagues.
Housnein’s career has already taken him across Europe. Before arriving in Norway, he had a stint in Sweden and also underwent trials in England with West Ham United and Leeds United. Although those trials didn’t result in permanent contracts, they were valuable experiences that shaped the young goalkeeper’s growth and determination.
At Alki Larnaca in Cyprus, Housnein featured primarily for the reserve team, where he made over a dozen appearances. His journey, marked by persistence and mobility, reflects the realities faced by many young African players seeking to establish themselves in competitive European football environments.
Inspired by fellow Togolese international Kossi Agassa — the former Stade de Reims and Togo national team goalkeeper — Housnein continues to pursue his dream of top-tier football. With growing interest and the January transfer window approaching, a move to a more competitive league could be the next crucial step in his evolving career.
For now, the goalkeeper remains focused on finishing the season strong and evaluating his options carefully as he looks to make a lasting mark on European football.
