      <title>Nordtveit - I can be Arsenal's 'new defender' replied by Trump_Card @ Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:15:03 +0800</title>
      <description>&lt;h3 class=""&gt;Nordtveit - I can be Arsenal's 'new defender'&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=
"http://www.arsenal.com/Images/n/nordtveit_0708reserves.jpg"
height="230" alt="" width="230" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Ars&#232;ne Wenger decides to strengthen his defence this summer,
he will probably dip into the transfer market. Havard Nordtveit is
hoping to spare him the trouble.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Norwegian defender arrived at Emirates Stadium last July
and, despite a three-month lay-off earlier this season, has made
steady progress in his first year at the Club. Nordtveit does not
turn 18 until June but his assured performances for the second
string have belied his tender years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 17-year-old has clearly impressed the men who matter - he
was handed his first-team debut shortly after arriving last summer
and was named Reserve team captain in September. Now Nordtveit is
hoping that Wenger decides to promote from within when he assesses
his squad at the end of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Of course I want to be that player," Nordtveit told
Arsenal.com. "It is up to me to show them what I have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"My first season has been very good. It was not so happy in the
start with my injury but I am pleased to be back regularly in the
Reserves, and to be captain. We got a smashing result on Monday
night so it is just going upwards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Playing in the pre-season games is in my mind. I will miss the
last reserve game as I am away with the national team on Thursday,
but I will keep trying to do everything in training and if I am
picked [for pre-season games] I will be very pleased. We will
see."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's easy to see why great things are expected of Nordtveit. The
Norwegian has a commanding presence at the back and a range of
passing which eclipses most central defenders. Nordtveit lacks
experience but he has been hoovering up advice from more
established team-mates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Training with the first team has helped me a lot," he said.
"Everybody there has so much experience, like Kolo Toure and
William Gallas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I need to see everything and learn what I can. They tell me to
be patient, not to rush it, do the right things every single time
and stay focused on what we do. Of course, we have to do it well in
the games too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I have definitely improved because the pace of the football
here is much quicker than in Norway. I have become more of a team
player, my passing is getting better and I am becoming more
professional all over the pitch and off it. I have improved in
almost everything."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this season Wenger admitted he had "rarely seen a boy of
his age so mature". If Nordtveit continues on his upward curve, the
Frenchman may not have to look far when he hunts for reinforcements
this summer.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
