“We view this acquisition as a long-term investment rather than one that will yield immediate results this year. It is a young and moldable talent that we, alongside our coaching staff and other resources, will work extensively with,” added Jesper Jansson, football director.
The club's scouting manager, David Vukovic, is optimistic that Olowoporoku will flourish in Sweden.
”He is a compact yet highly dynamic central midfielder capable of playing both in advanced and deeper midfield roles. We have observed him closely on the pitch and have gotten to know him within our setting, where we have recognized both his strengths and areas for improvement,” Vukovic remarked.
”We engage in both long-term and immediate planning for our squad to balance current results while also creating opportunities for that type of player and those emerging from our academy.”
