A knee injury of the worst kind for Atomu Tanaka
129 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. KTP lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Arttu Tulehmo has said yes to KuPS
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. KTP have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Samuli Hölttä has agreed to leave KTP for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Ahmed Adebayo stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Ahmed Adebayo and KTP agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

KTP rebuffed over Lucas Lingman
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. HJK have kept their man, and KTP go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Ahmed Adebayo’s goal not enough for KTP
Ahmed Adebayo scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to HJK, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

KTP promote Saku Toivio from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Saku Toivio has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Eero Soiri steps up from the KTP academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Eero Soiri has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Atte Huuhka joins the KTP first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Atte Huuhka is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Ahmed Adebayo
- Squad Tempers go at KTP
- Squad No place for Juho Pirttijoki in the new shape
