Transfer targets

Victor Bak is a medical away from IFK Goteborg

The deal with FC Midtjylland is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Boardroom

Arbnor Mucolli signs for AIK while still at IFK Goteborg

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Arbnor Mucolli has agreed terms with AIK for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

David Kruse signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Kruse commits to IFK Goteborg for another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at IFK Goteborg

Joakim Nilsson and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Mjällby tell IFK Goteborg: Elliot Stroud is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Djurgarden watching Arbnor Mucolli

The interest is real enough to have reached print. IFK Goteborg have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match

IFK Goteborg get the job done against Degerfors

A 1‑0 win over Degerfors, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sebastian Clemmensen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sebastian Clemmensen, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Sam Larsson ran the middle of the pitch — 6.97

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 9 combined actions and a mark of 6.97, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

In brief
