Club career

Born in Larvik, Egeli spent his youth career between the academies of Nanset IF and Sandefjord. [2] On his debut for Sandefjord 2, he scored all five goals in a 5–0 win against Teie in the 4. divisjon. [3] An unusually prolific striker at youth and reserve level, he was likened to fellow Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland. [4]

In February 2022, it was announced that Egeli would move to Denmark to join the academy of Danish Superliga side Nordsjælland. [5] [6]

On 29 August 2025, Egeli signed for EFL Championship club Ipswich Town on a five-year deal. [7] The reported fee of £17.5 million represented a record transfer fee spent by a Championship club. [8]

On 02 December 2025, Egeli scored his first professional goal in English football. A last-minute equalizer for Ipswich town against Blackburn Rovers in the English Championship [9] . Significant controversy surrounded the goal and game which was being replayed due to the original match having been abandoned in the 79 minute due to a waterlogged pitch in which Blackburn were leading 1-0 [10] .

His strong start to the season continued in the following game with Egeli scoring his first goal at Portman Road and the first goal of a 3 - 0 win against Coventry City. [11]

International career

Egeli has represented Norway at under-15 and under-16 level. [2] He continued his prolific club form for both national teams, scoring a six-minute hat-trick against Armenia in qualification for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. [12]

Egeli debuted for the senior Norway national team on 6 September 2024 in a Nations League game against Kazakhstan at the Almaty Central Stadium. He substituted Antonio Nusa in the 84th minute of a scoreless draw. [13]

Personal life

Egeli is the younger brother of fellow professional footballer Vetle Walle Egeli. [14]
