Ole Christian Hammerfjell Sæter (born 30 March 1996) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eliteserien club Vålerenga.

Club career

Sæter first caught the attention of Rosenborg when he played for Ranheim in 2020, later joining Rosenborg in January 2021.[3] He made his first-team debut on 30 May 2021 when he came on as a substitute in Rosenborg's Eliteserien match against Stabæk.[4]

In September 2024, amid the Gaza genocide during the Gaza war, Sæter rejected a reportedly lucrative bid from Israeli club Maccabi Haifa, referring to it as "blood money" and stating that "[his] values are more important".[5][6]

International career

Sæter is eligible to represent Pakistan as his maternal grandfather was Pakistani.[7][8] In October 2022, Sæter declined any chance to play for Pakistan during a podcast with Nettavisen.[7]
