Lillestrom have admitted that Bjorn Helge Riise is 'guaranteed' to be sold this summer amid speculation linking him with Fulham.

Riise, brother of Roma full-back John Arne, has attracted attention with a series of impressive performances over the past 12 months.

He has starred for Lillestrom and Norway and sporting director Torgeir Bjarmann is ready to let him leave the club.

"It is always the market that decides, but both LSK (Lillestrom) and Bjorn Helge have ambitions to seal a deal," Bjarmann told Romerikes Blad.

"He is working hard and gives everything in the game. Something like that is noticed and Bjorn Helge is guaranteed to be sold. The only question is when."

Reports in the Norwegian press have suggested that Fulham are considering a swoop for the midfielder but Bjarmann has refused to confirm the identity of any interested parties.

"There have been quite a many that have addressed us lately," he explained.

"Bjorn Helge has produced top performances. That is good not least for himself but also for the fans and the club. Our goal is to sell him."
