Carlstrand signs through 2030
AIK have confirmed the signing of Linus Carlstrand from Öster. The 21-year-old striker joins on a deal running to 2030, with Expressen reporting the fee at 15 million kronor including bonuses (1) (2). Ten goals and two assists in 15 Superettan matches this season. Your attack just got a genuine finisher.
Diogo Tomas deal agreed
AIK are also closing in on Finnish defender Diogo Tomas. A verbal agreement is in place for the free agent, pending a medical (4) (6). Tomas arrives after the Filip Benkovic move collapsed. The 27-year-old centre-back was an ADO Den Haag cult hero and will add depth to José Riveiro's back line.
Sunday at Strawberry Arena
AIK face Sällskapet at Strawberry Arena on Sunday, kick-off 16:30. OIS Fotboll have published practical info for away supporters (3). Your team sit sixth with 22 points from 14 matches and are unbeaten in five.
Fan reactions
The Carlstrand deal is going down well. Fans on r/AIK are calling his 10-goal Superettan form "glödhet" and see the 15 million kronor fee as reasonable business. The mood is one of genuine excitement, a young, in-form striker joining a side that just fired blanks at Häcken feels like exactly the right move. Read the discussion here.
