After 18 rounds, IFK Göteborg is second last in the Allsvenskan. The team has had big problems with the offensive game this year and has only scored 15 goals going forward.
Now they strengthen the attack – with the former Varberg and Hammarby forward Astrit Selmani. Already in June, Sportbladet could reveal that IFK Göteborg was chasing Selmani.
The 26-year-old is on loan from Israeli Hapoel Be’er Sheva. It is a loan (until the end of the season) with a purchase option.
– I know what it takes to perform in a big club like IFK Gothenburg and I know that it is in a challenging situation that I come to the club. But it is a challenge I am extremely motivated to face, he says.

“Experienced goal scorer”
IFK Gothenburg’s technical director Ola Larsson about the signing.
– Astrit is a hard-pressing forward and an experienced goalscorer. He has a confidence and a personality that brings him to both the audience and the players, and he is an example in the way he approaches both training and matches.
He continues:
– There is a clear hunger with Astrit and he is very motivated to come here. In addition, he has a national team place in Kosovo that he wants to win back.
Must be matched
In 2020, the 26-year-old scored 15 goals for newcomer Varberg – and finished second in the Allsvenskan shooting league. In Hammarby, there were eleven Allsvenskan goals in 39 matches.
During the spring, Selmani was loaned to Danish Midtjylland. There were a total of four appearances (zero goals). He played the last match on March 12.
– Since Astrit has not played a match for a while, it is important to match him in in a smart way with more and more match minutes in the near future, says Ola Larsson.
IFK Gothenburg’s next match will be played on Sunday, when Djurgården will visit Gamla Ullevi.
