Yiandro Raap is a medical away from Ekenäs IF
The deal with Ilves 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.

Ekenäs IF to lose David Agbo for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. David Agbo has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Ekenäs IF bid $250.0K for Tòfol Montiel
The offer went to FC Lahti this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Riku Hakola steps up from the Ekenäs IF academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Riku Hakola 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.
