It is securely lashed a while in football circles. Now it is definitely clear. Tenhults goalkeeper, Sulejmen Sarajlic, 16, moved to Gothenburg to play in Blåvitt.
- You can not throw away this kind of opportunity, saying "Suljo".
"Suljo" leaves Tenhult and division two of the major tasks. This weekend, it was clear that the 16-year-old goalkeeper signed a three-year training contract with IFK Gothenburg. Thus, he takes the same leap as childhood friend Malek Iskander who earlier this summer was ready for the premier league club.
"It will be very fun"
- It's hard to leave the family and comrades here at home but at the same time, it will be very fun for me. I have not gotten there yet, I think the real feel will show up once I started playing there, says Sulejmen that will show up on Comrade farm in Gothenburg on 5 January.
There, waiting for one bedroom apartment in a residential area next to the training facility.
- You can not throw away this kind of opportunity when a club shows interest in you in this way, he continues.
Thomas Gertmo of IFK Gothenburg says it sees great prospects for the young goalie.
- In the long run, there is a possibility that he is taking the step to our senior squad. That's the only reason why we are taking here, a player of that age who Sulejmen. He has all the qualities that a goalkeeper should have, the size, the feet and the coordination of its length. Then he has the right character, which is equally important in order to become an elite athlete, says Gertmo.
necessary steps
- Moving away from home by the age of 16 may seem tedious, but in order to become an adult and take responsibility, it is a necessary step if you also want to be getting anywhere.
Admittedly still some formalities in discussions between Tenhult and IFK Gothenburg, but it will not impose any worries.
- It has been a pleasure to deal with IFK Gothenburg. They are professional, says Tenhults football chairman Thorbjorn Ahlgren.
Sulejmen Sarajlic have for months been a renowned name goalie and it has become trial games at English clubs. Among other things, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
"Aston Villa showed the greatest interest"
- Aston Villa showed the greatest interest. Then there have been other clubs, smiling "Suljo".
- But Gothenburg felt like the safest option for me. England was a sidosak for me.
What about reuniting with your childhood friend, Malek Iskander?
- It will be fun! Fantastic, good for me. It's been tough for him at first. Now it will be easier both for me and for him when we have each other. I think it could be really good.
I think IFK Gothenburg too.
