Rosenborg BK's 21‑year‑old winger Noah Sahsah is in the spotlight after reports that Belgian side OH Leuven has shown strong interest. The Danish‑Moroccan player has only 245 minutes in the Eliteserien this season, yet speculation about a possible transfer bid has already started circulating.
Where does the interest come from?
According to several sources, OH Leuven, competing in the Jupiler Pro League, has begun evaluating Sahsah as a potential left‑flank reinforcement. The club has previously recruited players from Scandinavia, and Sahsah fits their tactical profile as a right‑footed wide player. It remains rumor‑only, with no official bid or medical approval yet.
What does this mean for Rosenborg BK?
Sahsah signed permanently for Rosenborg on 30 January 2025 after a loan spell from FC Copenhagen, for a transfer fee of €170 000. His current market value is estimated at €400 000. With a contract running until 31 December 2028, any sale would require an agreement between the clubs, not a free transfer. For Rosenborg, currently 10th in the Eliteserien with 18 points after 15 games (form LWWWD), a sale could provide financial relief but also thin the depth on the left wing.
How has Sahsah performed so far?
Sahsah has made nine appearances in the Eliteserien this season, without a goal or assist. He has started only 20 % of Rosenborg's league matches, accounting for 18 % of the team's available minutes. He has yet to feature in the NM‑Cup, so all his minutes have come from league play. Despite limited game time, he has shown potential in training matches, which may have sparked OH Leuven's interest.
What are the next steps?
Although the interest is at rumor stage, Rosenborg will likely monitor the situation closely. With Dino Islamović currently sidelined, Sahsah could see more minutes if the coaching staff sees a need to cover the absence. At the same time, the club must weigh whether a €400 000 income is worth losing a young talent with further development prospects. Fans will be keen to follow how negotiations evolve in the coming weeks.
Where does Rosenborg stand in the league now?
Rosenborg sits 10th in the Eliteserien with 18 points after 15 games, recent form LWWWD. The team has scored 21 goals and conceded 21, giving a zero goal difference. They are 20 points behind leaders Bodø/Glimt, making the battle to climb the table increasingly important for players and staff alike.
