Torbjørn Heggem is a Norway centre-back, born on 12 January 1999 (age 27), now with Bologna. His market value is around £12m, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior career began to take shape at Ranheim, where his most productive league season came in 2020: one goal in 30 appearances. That tells its own modest story – a defender playing regularly, rather than a name built on noise.
Heggem later had a spell at West Bromwich Albion, making one league appearance for them in 2025-26 before featuring far more heavily for Bologna. He made 27 league appearances for the Italian side that season, keeping him firmly involved in the first-team picture rather than drifting around the edges.
He has also remained part of Norway’s international set-up, with one World Cup appearance and eight European World Cup qualifying appearances this season. At club level, his recent work has been with Bologna, where he has become a regular enough presence to be noticed beyond the usual transfer-page churn.
Heggem’s career so far has moved from regular football in Norway to England and then on to Serie A. He is not a Celtic figure, but he is an established professional defender whose current relevance rests on steady first-team football at Bologna.
