Musa Malik, 17, heading to Karlberg
AIK are bringing in 17-year-old Nigerian winger Musa Malik for a training spell with the first team (1). He plays for Ikorodu City and carries a market value of around €75,000 (1). This is a look at a player, not a signing, but the club is clearly shopping in the Nigerian market.
Deal agreed for Shedrack Egboh, fee the last hurdle
AIK have a verbal agreement with Inspire Football Academy for winger Shedrack Chiwunba Egboh (2). Personal terms are already sorted. "The club has agreed to sign him on a long-term deal, with his personal terms already agreed," said Francis Ogete, who worked on the move (2). Only the transfer fee between the clubs remains unsettled. Egboh impressed on trial and AIK look ready to commit.
0–0 at Häcken, Ibrahim debuts for the hosts
Your team left Hisingen with a point on Monday, AIK 0–0 BK Häcken (3). The attacking concerns persist. The one fresh storyline belonged to the other bench: Harun Ibrahim came on for his Häcken debut in the 84th minute after joining on loan from Sharjah (3). AIK did not break through and now sit sixth, goal difference at zero after 14 matches.
What it means
Two Nigerian wingers on the radar and a goalless draw that did nothing to quiet questions about the attack. Riveiro's squad is stretched by injuries, and the summer window looks like it will be busy. Malik is a trial, Egboh is closer to a signing, both signal the same thing: AIK are looking for pace and directness out wide, and they are looking now.
