Sander Berge is a 25-year-old soccer player who is currently playing for Burnley FC in the English Premier League. He shares the same nationality with soccer stars Erling Haaland who plays for Manchester City in the English Premier League and Martin Odegaard who plays for Arsenal FC in the same league.
Sander’s rise to the EPL has been immense and he is a stellar midfielder for his club and country. Over the years he has developed a strong bond with his countryman Erling Haaland and has even claimed that they are very good friends.
In a recent interview Sander said this regarding the pairs bond, “I was probably one of the few young lads and you know its normal that you take the few other young lads too that come in underneath your wing and then I just felt we clicked from day 1. Since then we shared a lot of memories and been on some holidays together and you know we go out to eat sometimes and we have a very nice and friendly bond.”
It remains to be seen what happens next with both the players in their respective clubs. However, Sander’s Burnley FC has yet to show signs of improvement in the EPL whereas Erling Haaland has turned himself into a star in just about two seasons of playing in the league.

During Sander Berge’s time at his former team Sheffield United, Berge played extremely well and made himself a name in the EPL as one of the upcoming midfielders in the league. However, Sheffield United could not keep hold of their star midfielder and he signed for Burnley FC in August 2023.
He has a great relationship with his countrymen Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, both of whom play in the EPL respectively. The most well-known players on the Norwegian team are without a doubt the players from Manchester City and Arsenal, but Berge simply views them as regular guys.

During an interview with Burnley FC, Berge said this regarding the two of them, “Obviously they’ve done incredible, both of them since they came to Arsenal and Man City, which are two of the biggest clubs out there. They’re great teammates of mine, good friends outside of football, I see them more like that than the superstars they’ve gone on to be.”
What happens with the three Norwegians in their different clubs after this is still to be seen. But after just under two seasons of playing in the EPL, Erling Haaland has emerged as a star, Martin Odegaard is Arsenal FC’s captain while Sander’s Burnley FC has yet to demonstrate any indications of development in the league.
