AIK bid for Oskar Ågren as six Nigerian talents arrive

Bid lodged for Gais centre-back Oskar Ågren

AIK want Oskar Ågren. A concrete bid has gone in for the Gais centre-back, according to reports (1). The 27-year-old is coming off a strong season and fits the profile your defence needs after that 4–1 derby collapse against Hammarby left no room for doubt, the backline has to be rebuilt. Ågren reportedly outscores current AIK defender Cissé on nearly every analytical parameter (1).

Six academy talents arriving from Nigeria

Six players from the Ikhon Allah Football Academy are heading to Stockholm. Agreements are done and visas are 90 percent secured, meaning the Nigerian talents will join AIK's setup shortly (2). The move deepens the club's scouting footprint in Africa, a market that already delivered the record-breaking Zadok Yohanna sale to Brighton.
