Faqa nears Degerfors move as AIK eye Sagoe Jr

Faqa set for Degerfors move after missing training

Ahmad Faqa was absent from Tuesday's training session. The defender has reached an agreement with Allsvenskan rivals Degerfors, and AIK are finalising the permanent transfer (1). Faqa follows the well-worn path between the two clubs, with the deal expected to be confirmed shortly.

Sagoe Jr flattered by AIK interest

Charles Sagoe Jr is not hiding his feelings. The Kalmar FF winger addressed the AIK rumour directly: "It is flattering" (2). No formal move yet, but the player is clearly open to the idea.

AIK Women sign centre-back Thindra Mattsson

AIK Women have signed 18-year-old centre-back Thindra Mattsson from IK Uppsala (3). The teenager arrives with a clear sense of what she is walking into: "Starting at AIK feels incredibly fun. It feels like the club has something exciting going on" (3).

Nigerian talent Egboh on trial

AIK confirmed on Tuesday that Shedrack Egboh is training with the club (4). The Nigerian forward is the latest trialist to arrive at Karlberg, following Emmanuel Oluwafemi Olawore's stint last season. No decision yet on a deal.

Fan reactions

Fans are split on Faqa's exit. Some see it as a logical move for a defender who was not a guaranteed starter, while others worry about squad depth with European qualification now a real possibility. The Sagoe Jr rumour has sparked more excitement, with many seeing the 22-year-old as exactly the kind of attacking spark AIK should chase. Join the discussion on Reddit.
