He is a tall forward and has scored 66 goals in 183 games for Aalesund.

Espen Nystyen has flirted with several clubs after his contract conflict with Sandefjord. Nystuen is a defender who can also play in midfield. He had a great 2009 season and rated as one of the better defenders in the top league.

Brugge and Valerenga was mentioned as possible new clubs for Nystuen, but at the moment he is back in Sandefjord, training there. Sandefjord has not much patient left and hope for a solution during next week.

Nystuen has been mentioned as a possible target for clubs in the Championship with Leicester as one of the clubs mentioned. Nystuen is 28 years of age.
