Sverre Hakami Sandal (born 6 June 2003) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Luton Town.

Career

Early life

Sandal was born in Oslo in 2003 to an English mother and a Norwegian father. He started his footballing career in the youth system at Hauketo, before joining Nordstrand in 2017.[1]

Nordstrand

Sandal was taken into the Nordstrand first-team squad in 2021.

In February 2022, Sandal joined KFUM, who would immediately loan him back to Nordstrand. He left the club at the end of his loan.[2][3][4]

KFUM

In the 2023 season, Sandal helped KFUM in their promotion to the Eliteserien, playing all but one game.[5]

In the 2024 season, he developed into an important player for the club,[6] again featuring in most of the club's top-flight matches that season.[7]

Ahead of the 2025 season, TV 2 Direkte praised Sandal's performances, describing him as "Ekeberg's Yaya Touré".[8] He left the club at the end of the season.

Luton Town

In February 2026, Sandal signed for EFL League One club Luton Town in a deadline day deal.[1] Due to the differing schedules of Norwegian and English football, he made only three substitute appearances for the club in the 2025–26 season as he did not have a pre-season to build up fitness.[9]
