Hugo Vetlesen is a technically superb Norwegian central midfielder who plays for Belgian giants Club Brugge. The 26-year-old, born on February 29, 2000, is a product of Stabæk's academy and previously shone for Bodø/Glimt, where his passing range and control were instrumental in their title win. A deep-lying playmaker who can also shield the defense, Vetlesen's vision and ball retention are his standout qualities. His €3 million move to Club Brugge was a significant step, and he has adapted well to the demands of Belgian and European football. Already a full Norwegian international, Vetlesen is viewed as a key part of the national team's future midfield, with his elegance on the ball drawing comparisons to some of the country's best technicians.
