Ex-Blackburn Rovers star Morten Gamst Pedersen chasing BK Hacken contract - at 40

Former Blackburn Rovers and Norway winger Morten Gamst Pedersen is returning to top line football in Sweden.

Pedersen, now 40, is training with BK Hacken.

"I know Per Mathias Högmo. The first time we met was when he had the U21 national team. Then he was coach in Tromsö when I was sold to Blackburn and so I had him in the national team. We've had contact since then, talked about football and business. We have a close relationship," says the Norwegian to GP.

"There is always a chance. There is a chance that you will get a contract. It's not something I think about. Now it's about having a good training week and helping a little with what I can. If they get something good out of this, it's great and if I get it too, it's good. A win-win situation."
