Sebastian Wännström’s move to Troja-Ljungby never happened.
Now states The evening paper that the veteran instead looks set to move abroad again.
After playing abroad for the past five seasons, 34-year-old Sebastian Wännström returned home to Sweden for this year’s season. He first signed a short-term contract with Malmö Redhawks in the SHL but was released after just three games. Later, Wännström moved to Björklöven instead, where he also signed a short-term contract. There were six games with the Allsvenskan league leaders before the forward was released and had to search for a new club address.
Last week, Wännström was said to be in agreement with Troja-Ljungby about a move to Småland. But Saturday came Express’s Johan Svensson with information that the move to Troja will not take place because Sebastian Wännström has not got the family situation together in connection with the planned transfer.
Now, on the other hand, Wännström seems to have found a new club since the Troja move did not go through.
