VALERENGA director Kjetil Siem is hoping to sign Blackburn's veteran defender Henning Berg on a free transfer in the summer.

Berg is returning to his homeland when his contract at Ewood Park expires at the end of the season.

But he will not decide on his future until Norway have played their next three Euro 2004 qualifiers.

"I will decide after the matches against Denmark and Romania in June," the 34-year-old told a Norwegian newspaper. "I have had talks with Valerenga but it has all been very informal."
