Looks like the synergetic move of Fredrik Gulbrandsen from Salzburg to New York will happen soon enough, according to Norway's VG Sporten. The loan has been on hold for three weeks, as formalities are processed. Gulbrandsen is due to arrive in the US tomorrow.

"First priority is, of course, football, but I will not hide that it is a fantastic place to stay. It is an experience that one does not forget," said Gulbrandsen. "The Coach in Salzburg said that he wanted to keep me for the team's sake, but that he could not guarantee me that I got to play in every game. After the coach of the New York Red Bulls called me several times and stressed how desired I was, I felt that this was an opportunity I had to take. The level in MLS has improved greatly."

So, he is desired!
