Dion Krasniqi scored six goals in 23 Allsvenskan games for Varbergs Bois this year. Now the top forward gets the chance at a top club.
On Wednesday it became official that Elfsborg buys the 20-year-old from Varberg. Krasniqi has signed a contract that runs through the 2028 season.
– Elfsborg was the natural choice for me. It is a very familial association, and it will be exciting to see what we can do together, he says to the club’s website.
– I want to win matches and develop, and I will do that here. Elfsborg has a good mix of young and more experienced players, as the team has shown this year, they have what it takes to compete for gold and European places – and at the same time develop their young players in a very good way. It suits me perfectly.
Kasniqi says that he has been in contact with André Boman, who left Varberg for yellow and black last winter.
– We have been in contact since he went to Elfsborg, and he has given me a very good picture of the situation in the association.
Club manager Stefan Andreasson:
– Once again we have attracted one of Sweden’s most promising players in his position, which is part of our strategy. Dion has already made an impression in the Allsvenskan and we are very much looking forward to how he will develop further in our environment. After an as always good dialogue with Varberg, Dion is bought out immediately and he has signed a contract until the 2028 season.
Manager Jimmy Thelin:
– Dion is a versatile and powerful striker. His competitive instinct and high work capacity mean that he contributes to the team in all phases of our game and identity. His character and drive fit in well with the rest of the squad – a character who works hard for the team in all situations. We have followed Dion’s development for several years and we are now happy to welcome him to IF Elfsborg.
Krasiniqi began his senior career in Lunds BK.
