In an interview with Danish Tipsbladet Emphasizes sports manager Bosse Andersson that he is very pleased with the deal.
– Of course. As you know in Denmark, he is a fantastic football player with good qualities. He is also a special person. He has an ambition to come to this club and give everything, he says.
Andersson explains how the interest in the 26-year-old arose.
– It started with the fact that we were in Denmark to watch some matches. We did not look at him specifically, but he is a good football player, so we noticed him, he tells Tispbladet.
– Later, the opportunity appeared. Then the process began about three weeks ago, when we became convinced that it could be a good opportunity for us, the sports manager continues.
It is rumored that Djurgården paid SEK 15 million, corresponding to SEK 22 million.
– Of course, this is one of our biggest transitions. There is no doubt about it. We have also had great success with sales in recent years, and when you get such an opportunity we have to invest in it. He must be a key player who will make a difference. He knows what we expect, Andersson tells Tipsbladet.
– So it is undoubtedly one of our biggest transitions, but we have a good economy, and we have to create a team that can compete in the league, so that we can get back to Europe, he continues.
