If coach Matjaž Kek and the Slovenian Football Association (NZS) continue to search for footballers abroad who could potentially contribute to the Slovenian National Team in the future, it might not be a bad idea to take a look at the Arasen Stadium as well. It is the home ground of Lillestrom, a five-time Norwegian champion, which recently strengthened its squad with a highly interesting player. August Karlin comes from Sweden, but as his surname suggests, he also has Slovenian roots.
August Karlin is a 20-year-old midfielder born in Sweden. His mother is Swedish, and his father is Slovenian.

Before moving to Norway, he played for Malmo in Sweden, and he has now signed a three-year contract with his new club.
