Swedish players, news, transfers and rumours

I have no idea where he will end up but I have a feeling that he will end up playing with BiH.

There's too many good strikers in Sweden at the moment and if Emra wants to play international footie on a high level soon he will most likely chose BiH.

Ibra 26
Elmander 26
Rosenberg 25
M.Berg 21

These players will hopefully play upfront for many years to come with Sweden. About Emra I believe that he needs to show his talent more often. He's a huge talent, no doubts about that.

Let the future tell us.

Martin Olsson signs new contract with Blackburn Rovers



Olsson, 19, who joined Rovers just over two years ago from Swedish side Hogaborgs BK, was pleased to agree a new deal and is keen to make a first-team breakthrough next season after making his second Premier League appearance as a substitute in the 3-1 win over Derby at the weekend.

"I'm very happy to have signed a new deal, it is what I've been working hard for, to get a contract with the first team," Olsson said. "I've been doing well, I've been working hard, I came here two years ago and now I'm delighted to get that first-team contract.

"I've been in the squad a lot of times and on the bench too in some games, so my aim for next season is to be more involved and play more first-team games.

"I'm learning all the time in training and I'm delighted that the manager has shown this faith in me."

Isaksson High On PSV’s Shopping List



With Heurelho Gomes poised to leave Eindhoven this summer, PSV have turned their attention to England in search of a worthy successor. But it’s not Englishmen they’re after…

The Brazilian international goalkeeper has turned from hero to villain for the Eredivisie champions after falling out with the almighty managing director Jan Reker in public. And should he leave the club he’s spent the last four years with, Andreas Isaksson could take his place.

PSV Eindhoven have been closely monitoring the Swedish international’s situation at Manchester City, where he’s played in only 20 matches since his three-million-euros move from Stade Rennais on August 15, 2006. And the Dutch must have been pleased to learn that the towering 26-year-old custodian wants out of City, despite the fact that Mark Hughes has replaced Sven- Göran Eriksson as coach and manager.

“I don’t really care. Hopefully, I won’t be at the club next season,” he told Thomson Reuters news agency in an interview yesterday. And despite rumours that the former Trelleborgs, Juventus Turin and Djurgårdens shot-stopper could join Fulham, PSV Eindhoven may count themselves as favourites to land Isaksson – but at the right price, as his contract expires in mid-2009.

Fülöp and Velthuizen

The Eredivisie champions have other options as well, although it looks like Hungarian Márton Fülöp of Sunderland, who also wants out of his current club, prefers to join Stoke City instead. PSV have reportedly offered 626,000 euros for the 25-year-old international, who’s just featured six times between the sticks for The Black Cats since November 2006. However, Roy Keane, who would be glad to see Fülöp stay on, thinks that the bid is too low, while the former Hungária and Tottenham keeper favours a move to The Potters, where he spent part of this season on loan before they gained promotion to the Premier League.

Should their efforts to sign either of these England-based players prove fruitless, PSV could then focus to Vitesse’s impressive youngster Piet Velthuizen, considered as one of Europe’s most promising goalies.

PSV Target Isaksson Racing Towards Exit



Manchester City's unsettled Swedish keeper Andreas Isaksson has made it clear that he wants his proposed move to PSV Eindhoven to go through as soon as possible.

The Dutch press had claimed that the 26-year-old was set to arrive in Eindhoven on Wednesday to undergo a medical, but Iasksson's latest comments suggest that the deal will be considerably more drawn out than that.

“I know that PSV are interested and Manchester City don’t mind if I move,” Isaksson told Sportbladet.

“They are ready to sell me. I hope it will be solved. It’s not a bad club to join.

“I would like to join a bigger club who believe in me and who have ambitions. That is the most important thing.

“Training resumes for pre-season on July 14, I have a contract here but I hope I don’t have to return.”

The giant Swede lost his place in the Manchester City starting line up to Joe Hart last season after which he spent most of the rest of the campaign stewing on the bench yearning for a move.

PSV complete signing of goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson


Andreas Isaksson. PSV Media - Andreas Isaksson put pen to paper on a four-year contract with PSV on Wednesday afternoon. The 26-year-old, who joins PSV from Manchester City, was Sweden’s first-choice goalkeeper at the Euro 2008. Isaksson passed a medical earlier on the day.



59 caps
Isaksson, born in Trelleborg on 3 October 1981, spent the greater part of career as goalkeeper at Djurgården, after he had been scouted by Juventus at an early age. He came through the Youth set-up at the Italian club where he did not make the first team. After a four-year spell in the Swedish league, he joined Rennes in France in 2004, where he made 62 appearances in two seasons. Midway the 2006/07 season, he completed a move to Manchester City but did not feature much at the City of Manchester Stadium due to injury problems. He has gained 59 caps for the Swedish national team. Sweden did not survive the group stages at the Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. They beat Greece 2-0 in their opening game, but suffered defeats against Spain (1-2) and Russia (0-2).



Ninth Swedish PSV player
Many Scandinavian players plied their trade at PSV before. The first Scandinavian ever to join PSV was the Swede Dan Enker. The full left back scored one goal in 23 league games from 1958 until 1960. Ralf Edström is undoubtedly the best-known Swedish player in PSV colours. The internationally renowned striker arrived in Eindhoven in 1973 and became the crowd’s favourite when he scored 55 goals in 112 league games in four seasons. Until today, Klas Ingesson was the latest Swedish player in Eindhoven. The midfielder joined PSV in 1993, but stayed with PSV for only one season.


A survey of Swedish PSV players:
Dan Enker 1958-1960
Anders Svensson 1959-1963
Bjorn Nordqvist 1972-1975
Ralf Edström 1973-1977
Peter Dahlqvist 1974-1977
Torbjörn Nilsson 1976-1978
Glenn Hysén 1983-1986
Klas Ingesson 1993-1994
