Manchester City prospect Mohammed Abu is delighted teammate Omar Elabdellaoui has joined him on-loan at Stromsgodset.
The pair have helped their Norwegian club to the top of the table.
"We were good friends over in England and I was very pleased when I heard he was coming here," Abu told mcfc.co.uk.
"He's a hard-working player, he has a lot of potential and I can already see that he has improved since coming to Norway."
