Aberdeen, under the management of Jimmy Thelin, is looking to sign Elias Pihlstrom from Degerfors in a bid to bolster their team for the forthcoming season. According to Swedish sources Kt-Kuriren and FotbollDirekt, Aberdeen is competing with Eredivisie teams PEC Zwolle and FC Utrecht for the player's signature. The club is gearing up for a European campaign expected to last until Christmas, having already secured several new players this summer. Pihlstrom, an 18-year-old winger, has made a significant impact this season by scoring three goals in 14 matches for Degerfors and has represented Sweden at the U19 level. Degerfors may receive a club record transfer fee for Pihlstrom, potentially exceeding the previous high of €700,000 (£597,000) paid for Victor Edvardsen.
