Herman Sørbye Stengel (born 26 August 1995) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Tippeligaen side Vålerenga. He has previosuly played for Stabæk, and has represented his country at youth level.
Club career
Stengel was born in Lørenskog,[1] and grew up in Hokksund, where he played for Hokksund before he joined Stabæk as a youth. He started playing for their senior B team, Stabæk 2, and became the youngest goalscorer ever in the Norwegian Second Division. In May 2010 he scored his first senior goal at the age 14 years and 261 days.[2]
In 2009, Stengel did a trial at Manchester United together with Mats Møller Dæhli, who later joined the club's academy and Sondre Tronstad.[3] In December 2012, Stabæk granted Stengel a week to trial with PSV Eindhoven.[4]
On 2 October 2011, Stengel made his Norwegian Premier League debut, starting the match against Sarpsborg 08. Aged 16 years and 37 days, he became the youngest Stabæk-player to start a match in Tippeligaen, and the then third youngest player in the Norwegian top division.[5]
Stengel became known during the autumn of 2011, as he was a piece of Veigar Páll Gunnarsson's transfer to Vålerenga, which caused great controversy. TV 2 (Norway) revealed on 12 October 2011 that Gunnarsson was transferred to Vålerenga for 1 million NOK, while Vålerenga paid a transfer fee of 4 million NOK for an option for the then 15-year-old footballer Stengel.[6] In February 2012, Stengel stated that he wants to be known as a footballer, not as the guy who was a piece in the controversial football transfer, and that his dream is to play in one of the best leagues in Europe.[7]
After Stabæk was relegated from Tippeligaen in 2012, Stengel was a one of the key-players in the young Stabæk-team that finished the 2013 season second in the First Division and won promotion back to Tippeligaen. His contract with Stabæk expired after the season and he joined Vålerenga as a free agent ahead of the 2014 season, signing a four-year contract with the club.[8]
International career
Stengel scored six goals in twenty-three matches for Norwegian under-15 to under-17 between 2010 and 2012.[9]
