Swedish Allsvenskan outfit AIK are closing in on the signing of highly-rated Ghanaian winger Nana Kofi Donkor, with the teenager expected to complete his transfer from Georgian side FC Dila in the coming days, according to Footy-Africa.
The 19-year-old has already reached an agreement on a four-year contract, while the final stage of the move is set to include a routine medical before the deal is officially confirmed.
Donkor’s imminent arrival forms part of AIK’s efforts to rebuild their attacking department following the departure of several forward players during the current transfer window. Although the Stockholm-based club had also been credited with an interest in Öster striker Linus Carlstrand, negotiations for Donkor have progressed significantly faster and are now nearing the finish line.
The Ghanaian heads to Sweden after an encouraging spell in Georgian football that underlined his immense potential. While on loan at Dinamo Tbilisi, the exciting wide attacker delivered three league goals from nine starts during the spring campaign, performances that attracted attention from clubs seeking youthful attacking quality.
Known for his pace, direct running and ability to unsettle defenders in one-on-one situations, Donkor is viewed as a long-term investment with the attributes to make an immediate impact as AIK strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
Barring any last-minute complications during his medical, the promising Ghanaian is expected to be unveiled as AIK’s newest signing, marking another important step in his rapidly developing European career.
