Official: Olsson to Midtjylland

TRANSFERS Kristoffer Olsson will play for FC Midtjylland on loan for the rest of the season. Both clubs just announced the transfer officially. The Danes also have an option to buy. "We know he can make a difference from day one," said sports director Svend Graversen.


"A fantastic opportunity had arisen to bring in a footballer at the peak of his powers," Graversen says on Midjjylland's website. "Over the past few years we have followed Kristoffer's development closely. He developed from a player with good offensive skills to a player who now also has great defensive qualities. With his technique and vista, he can become an important player for us. He can handle different positions in the midfield."

"Kristoffer is an important link between defense and attack. Every time he plays with the Swedish national team, he shows that. He has won titles and played big European games. We know Kristoffer can make a difference from day one. He is a good guy, who knows our team and knows what we stand for."
