Assadi cleared to face Malmö FF
Lucas Assadi is game-ready. AIK confirmed his work permit is through, so the record signing is available for Monday's trip to Malmö FF (2) (8). You go into that one on three straight wins.
The plan to get Assadi up to speed
He has finally joined the squad at Karlberg, and the club is moving fast to integrate him (3) (4). Recruitment chief Miika Takkula: "He is humble but ambitious. I really like his mindset. But right now he's frustrated. He's been here a long time but can't train or play with the team. We've explained that it's a process" (7).
Harabi owns his past, denies the knife
New signing Aziz Harabi addressed his robbery conviction directly. "I take what happened very seriously and I'm ashamed that I was involved," he wrote to Aftonbladet (1). He denies holding a knife to the victim's throat, and adds that people should work from correct facts (6) (9).
Cardaklija watch
Panathinaikos are evaluating Anes Cardaklija, 21, with no advanced talks yet (5). GAIS earlier turned down an AIK bid just under 10 mkr (5).
