Häcken Hub
Häcken recently signed Simen Hestnes from KFUM Oslo, but he will miss the restart against Djurgården on Monday. Hestnes has had an unusual career path, with college football and studies in the US before returning to the Norwegian second division in 2019.
Who is Simen Hestnes?
Simen Hestnes is a 30-year-old midfielder from Norway. He has played for KFUM Oslo since 2022 and was part of the team that promoted to the Norwegian top division, Eliteserien, in 2023.
Häcken's coach Jens Gustafsson says that Hestnes has fit in well with the team. - He has come in with a natural fit. It's a slightly unusual profile and he has had an unusual career path, says Gustafsson.
Why will Hestnes miss the restart?
Hestnes will miss the restart against Djurgården on Monday because the Allsvenskan summer transfer window does not open until July 8. - It's one of those things that makes it a bit difficult to get in, because then we need to focus on someone else, says Hestnes.
| Team | Points |

| Häcken | 64 |
