Former Norway coach Per-Mathias Hogmo is happy to see West Ham winger Martin Samuelsen moving to FK Haugesund.

Hogmo handed Samuelsen his first caps and is backing his switch to Haugesund.

"I have a great sense of Martin, and therefore we also took him into the national team. He has a potential with extreme skills. An intellectual football player," he told VG.

"I have good faith that we have just seen the start of what he can achieve."

The 21 year-old will cut short his loan at VVV Venlo to sign for Haugesund this week.

Hogmo added: "It can be an excellent choice for both player and club. It will spice up the everyday life of the club and he can quickly become an fans favorite."
