Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit (born 20 January 2007) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a winger for German club Hamburger SV.
Career Røssing-Lelesiit hails from Nittedal. He played for the local team Nittedal IL throughout 2021. Upon changing to Lillestrøm SK's academy in late 2022, he tore a meniscus and was available to play in May 2022. He was drafted into the senior team in 2024 and made his Eliteserien debut against Fredrikstad in May 2024.
In September 2024 he made his youth international debut for Norway, representing Norway U17. Around the same time, Lillestrøm sacked their manager and brought in Dag-Eilev Fagermo, and under Fagermo, Røssing-Lelesiit made a breakthrough. First, he scored in his cup debut against Molde in early October 2024. Then, as Lillestrøm languished below the relegation line in Eliteserien, the club found new hope after beating Odd (the other team sitting in a relegation spot) 3–0. Røssing-Lelesiit scored one of the goals, his first Eliteserien goal, which drew nationwide attention. Røssing-Lelesiit was praised for being "cocky" and "humble" at the same time, as well as "fearless" in trying difficult maneuvers on the pitch.
On 3 February 2025, Røssing-Lelesiit signed a long-term contract with Hamburger SV in German 2. Bundesliga.
International career Røssing-Lelesiit was born in Kenya to a Kenyan father and Norwegian mother. He played for the Norway U19s at the 2025 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
