Kristofer Krüger Hæstad (born 9 December 1983) is a Norwegian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

[citation needed] In July 2006, Hæstad launched a music single This Is For Real together with four other professional Norwegian footballers – Morten Gamst Pedersen, Freddy dos Santos, Raymond Kvisvik, and Øyvind Svenning.

[citation needed] On 29 December 2006, it was announced that Premier League club Wigan Athletic had secured Hæstad on six-month loan.

[4] The Norwegian newspaper VG would later reveal that it not was a standard loan contract, but an intricate deal that could see Hæstad stay at Wigan until July 2010, if they pick up an option to buy him at the end of the current season.

[5] Hæstad made his Premier League debut on 13 January 2007 against Chelsea,[6] but was released from his loan contract at Wigan Athletic by mutual consent on 1 April 2007.
