James54De Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Having googled him, he is a free agent after being released from Bodo/Glimt in Norway. Is a British National, apparently, so visa of no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Was on our radar last summer. Think Bodo play a summer calendar so might’ve been difficult then. Now??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWANG50 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 From wiki Club career[edit] At age of 7 Haikin began his youth career at FSHM Torpedo-Moscow. Nikita was also a part of Dinamo Moscow academy before moving to England.[citation needed] In September 2013, Haikin went on trial with Reading following his release from Chelsea.[2] Haikin made his professional debut in the Israeli Premier League for Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv on 25 February 2017 in a game against Maccabi Tel Aviv.[3] He then ran out of the contract and joined Hapoel Kfar Saba for one season. In March 2019 he signed a contract with Eliteserien club Bodø/Glimt with whom Nikita became a silver medalist in his first season and won the championship in the two consecutive seasons (2020 and 2021). Haikin also debuted in Europa League qualification in 2020 where Bodø/Glimt got eliminated by Milan at San Siro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I’ve just been in touch with @terpin Says the source of the tweet is a very reliable one. Also says apparently it was reported in Norwegian press recently that Wolves were interested and that he’s also got offers from the MLS and other championship clubs. Has been one of the best keepers in the Norwegian league for a few years. Likes to play out from the back - sweeper keeper type 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James54De Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Is he coming in as a number 1? I’ve had a feeling since Bentley was dropped that both he and Max would be off at the end of the season. I think that, perhaps, he could come in with a plan of him and Bajic fighting it out next season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 This sounds promising, free agent too? Would he be to compete with O'Leary or look to be a medium term No.1. Bajic to consider too of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
