Kouame: the Al-Ettifaq move fell through
Three bids from Al-Ettifaq FC for Axel Kouame. The last one was reported at 40 million kronor and said to be accepted (4). The move broke anyway.
"It was a fantastic opportunity for me. That they wanted me meant a lot. It motivates me to keep working hard the same way," Kouame told Expressen (4).
Inter Turku are also listed as an interested club (4). Kouame is still at AIK.
From hooked and shouted at to AIK's best
Kouame was subbed on, subbed off and shouted at in his debut. He was 23 then. Now he is one of AIK's best players (3).
"I promised my mum I would do it," he said (3). And: "I want to enjoy every day. You never know if you'll wake up tomorrow" (3).
GAIS away on Monday, a blunt attack up front
AIK go to GAIS on Monday, 19:00 CET. That is the next fixture.
The preview angle is simple: AIK's shaky defence against GAIS's weak attack. "It should make AIK happy," is the line from the Stockholm press (5).
Your team are 8th on 38 points from 26 games, minus three in goal difference. Form: L L D W D. Next after GAIS is BK Häcken at home on Sunday, November 8, 16:30 CET.
