#3 Karanveer Grewal

Karanveer Grewal was a team-mate of Real Madrid's Martin Ødegaard at Stromgodset

Karanveer Singh Grewal was born in Lamba, Gujarat and currently plays for the Norwegian third tier club, Asker. The 23-year-old plays as a right-back for his side, whom he joined on loan from Mjondalen in January this year. He left Stromgodset for Mjondalen in February 2013 but made only 40 appearances for them in a spell of four years dotted with a move to Asker, whom he joined on a free transfer this year.

Although primarily a right-back, Grewal can also play as a left-back and on the right-hand side of midfield. The former Norway Under-19s international was a team-mate of Real Madrid's on-loan prospect Martin Ødegaard at Stromgodset in his formative years.
