Emmanuel Ekong is reportedly close to joining Hajduk. Swedish media reported that Hajduk and Malmö have reached an agreement for the 24-year-old winger, who is expected to arrive at the beginning of the week for a medical examination and to sign the contract.

Hajduk is interested in signing 24-year-old Swedish-Nigerian left winger Emmanuel Ekong, who is nearing a move to Poljud. Ekong, who has previously played in the HNL for Istra and has been capped by Sweden at the U20 level, is dissatisfied with his status at his current club, Malmo. He joined the Swedish side from Empoli in January 2025 for a fee of one million euros and holds a contract with them until December 2029. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €450k.
