Liverpool and Chelsea are frontrunners for Eirik Granaas as Arsenal track Norwegian starlet So far in the 2026 Eliteserien season, the youngster hasn’t played massive minutes, but he recently netted his first senior goal. His performances so far have shown a level of composure on the ball that is uncommon at his age.



He still needs to bulk up and improve his defensive work rate, but more time in a senior environment should help him work on those over the next few years. Liverpool look like a better spot than Chelsea for him at the moment, mainly because they have a clearer track record of slowly bringing youth players into the first team.

None of these teams should be throwing massive money at him this summer if they actually care about his growth; Granaas just needs to be playing regular football at a level that suits him. Fredrikstad won’t let him go for cheap, but a solid offer from Liverpool or Chelsea might force their hand in the next few weeks.
