Harald Nilsen Tangen is set to spend the remainder of this season on loan at Notts County following an agreement between the English club and Sarpsborg for his temporary transfer. The 25-year-old midfielder has been an influential player for Sarpsborg, attracting attention from clubs outside Norway due to his consistent performances and technical ability.
Tangen joined Sarpsborg from Viking in 2024 and has developed significantly since arriving, becoming a key figure in the team’s midfield. His influence on the pitch has been widely recognised, prompting Sarpsborg to sanction his loan move to England to provide him with new challenges and exposure in a different league.
Notts County strengthening their squad
Notts County have identified Tangen as a player capable of adding quality and depth to their squad, a factor that played a central role in their decision to secure his services. The club are looking to improve their performances this season and believes that the Norwegian midfielder’s skill set and experience will help them achieve their objectives. For Tangen, the loan represents an opportunity to showcase his abilities on a new stage and make an immediate impact for his temporary team.
Sarpsborg confirmed the move on their official website, noting that the agreement includes an option for Notts County to make the transfer permanent for a set fee. This arrangement provides both the player and the English club with flexibility, while giving Sarpsborg the potential to benefit further if Tangen impresses during his loan spell.
Opportunity to impress and advance
Tangen now faces the task of performing at a good level to make a strong impression during his time at Notts County. A successful loan spell could not only persuade County to exercise their purchase option but may also attract interest from larger clubs in England during the summer transfer window. This move represents a significant opportunity for Tangen to further his career and establish himself as a player capable of competing in English football.
