Here's a quick translation of the article that appeared in Aftenposten (paywalled Norwegian newspaper).

MOLDE: At today's training there were two new faces. Seattle Sounders' player Henry Wingo and young Gibril Sillah from Gambia are here to show themselves. "They are here because we have heard good things about them," said Molde coach Erling Moe to Rbnett [another Norwegian paper]. Gibril Sillah is in Molde on a normal trial, while Henry Wingo is a player MFK have long tried to get. The American has been granted permission from his MLS club to travel to Molde to check it out. "This is something we've been working on for a while now. He has a contract with Seattle, but he has permission to be here. Wingo is a player that can play in the back or going forward, on both sides, but has mostly been used on the right side. We need cover both at right and left back. He looks quite good, so this isn't really a trial. We'll see what happens," said the coach about the American, who was also a teammate of Magnus Wolff Eikrem last year.

Sounds like Molde have been cooking this up for a while, which is news to me, because I hadn't heard anything about Wingo looking to get out of Seattle. It remains unclear whether this is contemplated as a permanent move or a trial to cover for positions at which Molde are thin.

Molde are currently sitting at the top of Eliteserien, Norway's top league, but just barely, and seem to be looking to bring some players in to make a second half push for the league title. It's an opportune time to make the investment; Eliteserien is wide open and potentially 5 or 6 teams have a chance. Rosenborg BK, the league's perennial powerhouse, have finally righted the ship and are climbing up the table quickly after starting the first half of the year in disarray.

It should be noted that Teddy Wingo, Henry's older brother, played in Norway for Stryn FK in 2012.

UPDATE: Seems like this move, whether he goes to Molde or not, will be decided by end of the week. Here's a translation of this article which appeared in Eurosport a few days ago:

Headline: Molde closing in on a decision about Seattle player. Sub-headline: Molde has had the American trialist at training for nearly two weeks. Now Molde has stated that they will decide soon whether to carry this forward or not. Nearly two weeks ago Molde confirmed that they had taken in Henry Wingo on trial from Seattle Sounders. The 23 year-old can play both in attack and in defense on both sides, however has primarily played on the right side. "He has been positive on and off the field. He has made a good impression on the team and is a good player in training," said the sporting director at Molde, Øystein Neerland, to Eurosport. Seattle manager [Brian Schmetzer] said toward the end of last week that a move may be a good idea for Wingo, because with the players coming back from their national teams [after Gold Cup etc], he may find himself in the back of the line at Seattle Sounders. But time is ticking, and Molde must now decide whether they will keep the player or not, who has been training with Molde for two weeks despite having a contract with Seattle. Neerland has informed that they have been following the player for almost a year and that it was nice to see him up close. But so far, no decision has been made on whether they will make a push. "We must make a decision within a week. The transfer window opens in August. If he is going to move this summer, then it must happen at that point. We have to look at it holistically, and then consider whether or not to bring it over the line," he says. Wingo, who is from Seattle, played with Magnus Wolff Eikrem in the US, which clearly didn't hurt the chances of bringing the talented player across the pond. "Yes, it is true they know each other and we have spoken to Magnus about the player. We have also had some American players here and know many agents in the US that have made contact with him previously. So it was a mix of things that put us in touch with him initially." In addition, Henry's brother Teddy, has played for Stryn in the past, so Scandinavia is not completely foreign to the Wingo family. Neerland also confirmed that they have had regular contact with Seattle to discuss the move.

Additionally, Molde has recently confirmed that they have canceled the contract of Swedish left back Christopher Telo, which seems to open a door for Wingo. While I have never seen Wingo play left back, it sure seems that would be on the cards for him based on what Molde manager Erling Moe said in the original article above.
