Nashville SC acquired midfielder Edvard Tagseth from Rosenborg BK in his native Norway on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old is under contract through the 2026 MLS season with an option for 2027.

Tagseth tallied nine goals and 19 assists in 138 matches in all competitions for Rosenborg since 2019.

"Eddi provides a needed role in our midfield as a ball progressor and chance creator, and his ability to fight and compete on both sides of the ball has been a calling card for him thus far in his career," Nashville general manager Mike Jacobs said. "We are excited to be able to add him to our group."

Tagseth spent time in the Liverpool youth system and played for the club's Premier League U-18 and U-23 sides.
