Ekong needs surgery after Hajduk Split transfer collapses

Ekong deal collapses, now he needs surgery

Emmanuel Ekong is returning to Malmö FF for an operation instead of joining Hajduk Split (1). The transfer fell apart after the medical, and Ekong will undergo surgery in the coming days (1) (3). Not what anyone wanted. Expressen's football panel did not hold back: "The last thing a player wants on his CV" (3). The failed move also raises questions about how this affects Malmö's credibility in future negotiations (3).

Dahlin set to extend his deal

Johan Dahlin is close to signing a new contract with Malmö FF (2). The 38-year-old started the last league match ahead of Robin Olsen and was involved in a heated exchange with Pontus Jansson after the final whistle. Aftonbladet reports an extension is on the way (2). For a team sitting sixth and searching for stability, locking down the veteran keeper matters.
