Robin Olsen wants Emil Forsberg at Malmö FF. The goalkeeper did not hide it.
"Då vill jag ha hit honom till Malmö," Olsen said, which means: then I want him here at Malmö (1).
Forsberg looks set to leave New York Red Bulls next summer. Olsen and Pontus Jansson are close friends of his.

Nothing is signed. The door is just wide open.
Haksabanovic: he would lift the whole dressing room
Sead Haksabanovic is on board too. He did not hedge.
"Det hade varit otroligt. Med hans karriär och hans meriter så kan han lyfta Malmö ett snäpp till och att ha en sådan lagkamrat tror jag hade lyft hela omklädningsrummet," he said (3) (4) (5).
Translation: it would be incredible, and one look at Forsberg's career and honours says he could take Malmö up a level.
Two players, one message. The squad wants him.
The contract question comes first
Forsberg is set to extend with New York Red Bulls until next summer, then move back to Sweden, with Allsvenskan open (1) (5).
So it is not a January deal. It is a next-summer deal, and Malmö are in the conversation until he signs somewhere else.
Fofana suspended for the Hammarby visit
Hammarby beat IK Sirius 2–0, but they lost Ibrahima Fofana to a red card. He shoved an opponent to the ground and was sent off (2).
He is suspended against Malmö FF at home on Sunday, November 1.
"Efter matchen bad jag om ursäkt till hela staben och alla spelare," Fofana said (2).
Henrik Rydström was calm about the hole at centre-back: "Om det är någonstans vi har bredd, så är det i backlinjen" (2).
You go into it on a win

The last one was 0–3 away at Halmstads BK on Wednesday. Before that, 0–0 at IF Elfsborg on October 23.
Hammarby at home on Sunday. Then IFK Göteborg away on November 8.
