Italian club Udinese, yesterday, also signed a young Swede, 17-year-old Nazad Asaad.

The 17-year-old has been given a 2 year contract with an option for a further 3 years, and is expected to be a good player in years to come.

 

Asaad said:

 

"I want to take this chance,"

 

"I have set the personal goal of making my Serie A debut within three years.

 

"My pace is my best ability."

 

Swedish clubs are having all their top youngsters raided at the moment, with Dennis Hansson joining Dutch club Twente for a year-long loan deal with the option of making it permanent.
