Early life
Kanutte grew up on the island of Gossa in Møre og Romsdal. She first played for Gossen IL during her youth before beginning her career in Norway's Division 3 at SK Træff. She debuted at just 15 years old.[1]
In 2018, Kanutte moved to Toppserien club SK Trondheims-Ørn (renamed Rosenborg BK in February 2020).[1]
In 2023, Kanutte moved to Sweden to join Damallsvenskan club Hammarby IF, where she was usually a substitute. She was loaned out to IFK Norrköping for the 2024 season, where she became a regular starter.
In 2025, Kanutte stayed in the Damallsvenskan and signed for newly-promoted but well-invested side Malmö FF.[1]
On 29 June 2026, Italian Serie A club AC Milan announced the signing of Kanutte on a three-year deal.[2]
