Torbjørn Heggem, born on 12 January 1999 (age 27), is a Norwegian central defender with Bologna. His current market value is around £12m, according to Transfermarkt.

By 2020 he was a regular at Ranheim, making 30 league appearances and scoring once. That remains his most productive league season in front of goal, which tells its own fairly plain story about the kind of defender he is.
