View on Steffen Iversen
I am a big fan of Steffen Iversen. I feel he could become the premierships new Cantona except he is Norwegian! He has a natural eye for goal and can finish with ease. He is superb when in possession and can also defend when the stakes are high. Iversen is a hero in Norway which always goes down well with the club he is playing for! Last season he notched up 14 goals for spurs, most of them coming before Christmas, but a bad spell not only for Steffen, but for Spurs prevented him from adding more to his tally. Iversen once again has had a good pre season like last year, and don't be surprised to see him top the scoring charts come May with the help of Sergei Rebrov and Co!
