Nikita Haikin

Nikita Haikin, the 29-year-old shot-stopper for Bodø/Glimt, embodies a composed and reliable presence between the sticks in the Eliteserien. While specific player stats and data metrics for goalkeepers are scarce, Haikin's style of play is characterised by his calm demeanour and positional awareness. He's adept at organising his defence and exhibits a natural ability to read the game, making crucial interventions when called upon. Although not the most spectacular in shot-stopping, his consistency and decision-making in the penalty area provide a solid foundation for his team. However, there’s room for improvement in his distribution, which could enhance his team's build-up play. As a goalkeeper in his prime, Haikin’s experience and leadership on the field are invaluable assets for Bodø/Glimt, making him a key figure in their defensive setup.
