Swedish midfielder Filip Ottosson, 28, is set to join IFK Göteborg from Norwegian club Sandefjord, which he joined in 2023 from Landskrona. The transfer will be finalized after the current Norwegian Eliteserien campaign, with his three-season contract commencing on January 1. Ottosson expressed that it was a 'fantastic feeling' to realize his dream of playing in the Allsvenskan for such a prominent club. He also stated that he had known about IFK Göteborg's interest for some time, had been following the team, and is confident he can contribute to their recent positive momentum. Hannes Stiller, IFK Göteborg's sporting director, emphasized that Ottosson is expected to intensify competition within a young roster and serve as a leader for the younger players. Stiller also described him as a future 'culture-bearer' and deemed securing the transfer in advance as a strategic benefit for the club's future. The move will be a free transfer as Ottosson's Sandefjord contract concludes on December 31, 2025; Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at €450k.
