Rosenborg, the current leader of the Norwegian league, has sold one of the country's brightest talents to the French club Rennes. Alexander Tettey made his debut for the club in 2004, only 17 years old. Now 23, Tettey has been a regular in the Rosenborg team the last few seasons, scoring 12 goals in 89 league matches from his central midfield position.With four international caps for Norway and eight appearances in the Champions League with Rosenborg, Tettey has experience of top-level football and will be expected to make an immediate impact in France. While the two clubs have agreed to keep the transfer fee undisclosed, the move is estimated to have cost Rennes around 5 million euro.
Rosenborg have previously resisted several offers for Tettey, but it is thought that their shock defeat to Azerbaijani side Qarabag in the second qualifying round of the Europa League was the deciding factor in the decision to let one of their major talents leave the club.
Tettey will be the third Norwegian player in the French league, with Daniel Braathen and Torstein Helstad both performing well last season for Toulouse and Le Mans respectively.
