Norwegian Defender Joins Greek Club

Norwegian right-back Marcus Holmgren Pedersen has completed his transfer from Italian Serie A side Torino to Greek giants Olympiakos.

Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, 26, has officially joined Olympiakos after the Greek club confirmed the move in their media channels. The transfer fee is reportedly around €8 million (approximately 86 million kroner), with Norwegian outlets VG and TV 2 having previously hinted at the deal.

The Finnmark-born defender played 29 Serie A matches for Torino last season, including 70 minutes in their 1-2 season-opening defeat to Milan. Pedersen was part of Norway's World Cup squad this summer and made an impact when he came on as a substitute in the 3-2 victory over Senegal, scoring after just 30 minutes on the pitch. beltedkingfisher.blog
