Jesper Nøddesbo: Barcelona

What has been an open secret for several months – at least in Denmark – was finally made official on Tuesday afternoon. Danish international Jesper Nøddesbo was introduced as new player of the Spanish Champions League participant, FC Barcelona. The 26-year old pivot will join the Catalonians and sign a three-year contract. Nøddesbo arrives from Danish Cup winner KIF Kolding, where he played three years. Before that he played for another Danish league club, Team Tvis Holstebro.

Proud and honoured 

“It is a great honour for me that Barca has shown interest in me. I have seen and heard a lot about this team throughout my life, and when I found out that they wanted to sign me, the decision was not difficult to make. I really want to give all I’ve got and try to win everything with Barcelona: Champions League and Liga Asobal,” said Jesper Nøddesbo at the press conference, where he was officially introduced as a new Barcelona player.

Jesper Nøddesbo played 80 internationals for Denmark and scored 155 goals.
