West Ham Striker Already Plotting Future Move to ‘Bigger Club’

Edvin Austbo has arrived in English football with clear ambition.

Though largely unknown to most supporters, the young Norwegian striker is determined to reach the top.

Since joining West Ham this summer, Austbo has made an immediate impact, grabbing a goal and assist from the bench against Derby before earning a starting spot against Bolton.

He appears set to be a key figure in the Hammers’ push for Premier League promotion, but his recent comments have unsettled fans hoping he remains at the club.

“I’d like to play for an even bigger club in the future, even though West Ham is huge,” Austbo told Aftenblad in Norway.

“The goal is to become so good that they have to sell me. But first, we’re going to achieve a few things here along the way.”

His ambition is commendable, though voicing such sentiments so soon after joining raises questions about his commitment to the project.

Such scenarios are commonplace in modern football — even elite Premier League talents regularly push for moves to Real Madrid or Barcelona — but articulating it so openly early in a transfer is perhaps unwise.
