Kristian Thorstvedt is a technically assured central midfielder who has been a regular fixture at Sassuolo since 2022, developing his game in Serie A through a period that has included both promotion battles and mid-table consolidation. The son of former goalkeeper Erik Thorstvedt, he came through Genk before moving to Italy, where his ability to carry the ball and link play in tight spaces has made him a useful component in Norway's midfield options. At 27, he is in the prime years of his career and offers Ståle Solbakken a more possession-oriented alternative to the more combative midfield profiles in the squad.
