Premier League sides Brighton and Leeds United have been monitoring Jens Hjerto-Dahl, and both clubs are still believed to be admirers. More recently, Hull City and Cardiff City have also become interested in the Tromso midfielder, who is expected to leave the Norwegian club this summer. Tromso are understood to be demanding a fee of around £8.5 million for the 20-year-old.
Rangers were also pursuing the player but they have withdrawn from negotiations after having an offer of around £5 million rejected. Hull and Cardiff are now considered to be the primary clubs attempting to sign the Norway Under-21 international, for whom he has 7 caps. The central midfielder's contract at Tromsø runs until December 2029, and he has registered 7 goals and 2 assists in 14 Eliteserien appearances in the 2025/2026 season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €10.00m. In July 2026, Cardiff City reportedly submitted a bid of approximately €9.2 million (£7.8m).
