Pakistani footballer Abdullah Iqbal will be joining the Swedish top league team Mjällby AIF which acquired his services from Denmark's B93 club for a fee of €200,000.
The transfer, for which the official announcement for which is expected to be made later this week, marks a significant step in Iqbal career.
Having played 14 international matches for Pakistan, the defender has an impressive track record and has demonstrated leadership skills, having captained the national team in two international fixtures.
Iqbal's new side Mjällby AIF has a history of notable players, with Swedish footballers Christian Wilhelmsson and Mattias Asper having previously been part of the club.
The Swedish club, as per its website, was founded in 1939 and has a turnover of around SEK 50 million (Swedish Krona).
With as many as 1,100 members who are part of the association, the side had the youngest team in the Allsvenskan in 2022, the top-tier Swedish football league, with four of the players making it to the U-21 national team.
