New plan
- FC Copenhagen manager Bo Svensson says the squad still needs strengthening before the transfer deadline.
- The club has signed seven players and lost 10 since its final match of last season, with Svensson seeking more attacking options.
- Svensson says Youssoufa Moukoko is moving toward a transfer and does not fit the team’s usual tactical setup.
FC Copenhagen manager Bo Svensson says the club’s summer transfer overhaul is not finished. After a 3-1 Superliga win over Sønderjyske at Parken, he opened the door to more deals before Wednesday’s midnight deadline.
Copenhagen have brought in seven players while 10 have left since the team’s final match of last season against Brøndby. Svensson said that turnover had met the club’s aim of bringing in “new blood,” but he stressed that seven arrivals did not match the number of departures.
new blood
The manager is particularly interested in adding to the attack. Copenhagen have signed wingers Thapelo Maseko and Maher Carrizo, with Carrizo joining on loan from Ajax for the rest of the season without a purchase option. Svensson called Carrizo a quality player the squad had lacked, while acknowledging that the structure of the deal was handled by others. “We become better with Maher,” he said.
Svensson also confirmed that striker Youssoufa Moukoko is heading toward a club move. He said Moukoko’s profile had not fitted Copenhagen’s system particularly well because the team usually plays with one No. 9 and tends to use a taller striker. Svensson described that decision as entirely tactical during his time in charge.
We become better with Maher.
