Modou Barrow heading for the Premier League
Modou Barrow, who has been on a very successful audition with the Premier League club Swansea City FC, coming back to Östersund and may participate in the important home game against Sirius on Tuesday but then he is lost for ÖFK. On Thursday next week Modou fly back to Swansea for medical examination and signing contract with Swansea City FC!
Modou becoming the first player ever to go from a superetta club to a team in the Premier League.
- It is a great success for Modou and of course for our entire association with Graham Potter's team in the lead, says ÖFKs chairman Daniel Kindberg when he commented. That a player goes from one superetta club to the world's best soccer league Premier League is sensational!
- There are many who speculate about how much this deal is worth for ÖFK.
- We will not comment on any of the content of the deal. It's part of the business agreement. Everybody understands, of course, that it is great for a compound that ÖFK but some details will neither we nor Swansea City FC announce.
- How has it been to negotiate with Swansea City FC?
- Swansea City FC is a very well run club. They had been training for three years in a row in Ostersund when they had Roberto Martinez as manager. I got to know their chairman Huw Jenkins. We have had very intense negotiations and it is an honor to negotiate with a gentleman like Mr. Jenkins. Moreover, it is very brave of a promising young manager Garry Monk daring bet on an unproven player from Sweden's second league.
- How can it be that we and Modou Barrow has come to this attention?
- It is of course first and foremost Modous own quality that is coming through. Much thanks to our manager Graham Potter and our assistant manager Billy Reid. Without their amazing leadership and their reputation in the UK had this affair never happened.
- On Tuesday, there is Modou in Östersund and he is available to play at Sirius. One last chance for our fans to cheer on Modou.
- I think it would be fantastic if we could celebrate Modou with a very well stocked arena during the game against Sirius just like our fans did when David Accam went to Helsingborg. This is something extraordinary that has never happened in Sweden before! says Daniel.
Just stick with, right? On Tuesday, we fill the stadium!

Just wondering with the injuries how back to back games are going to work, I just checked u21 pre season fixtures and they're due to play Exeter on Friday too so not many spare players! I can't imagine even pre season that 90 minutes games vs championship sides would be great to do with no rest day, thoughts? I thought big enough squad for two separate sides pre Chico, Donnelly, Leon, Marvin injuries(let's hope some sneaky trialists) or could we see Orlandi playing ;)? |
