The Norwegian and Swedish football league seasons have concluded, some players contracts are about to expire on the 31st December, favourable GBE restriction changes. QPR have already looked to Hammarby to appoint their new manager, Marti Cifuentes. Their is a realisation in football that the Eliteserien and Allsvenskan hold value. Football clubs recruitment teams will be looking to Norway and Sweden to bolster their squads in the January transfer window...….. Well, they should be!
I've put together a squad of names that'll be on EFL clubs shortlists this winter. To cover all transfer budgets, there is a paid option and a free agent for each position.
