The successful player could have finished in England

Last year, Nigerian Moses Okbu had a big win at Alswenskan, pushing newcomer Mjällby to fifth place.

The striker now lives in China – but ended up at the English club he had long established.

According to the podcast Football is coming home Sheffield attempted to appoint Okbe on Wednesday. But above all change prevented it from becoming a reality.

In connection with newcomer Mejalbi finishing fifth, Moses was the team’s top scorer. The Nigerian scored fourteen goals and three assists in 2020, and he was described as one of the most important players of the All Svenscon that year.

The striker is suitable for big clubs like Hammerby and Jurgarden – but last winter the Chinese club Wuhan decided to move to three cities.

Now in the summer, however, Ogbu will end up in the UK. As Podcast Football comes home, the long-established League One club Sheffield showed interest in appointing a striker on Wednesday.

But above all it put an end to change. English Terms.

After England left the EU, it became harder for clubs and players to get business. The English Football Association (FA), among others, has set up a system in which players receive points based on how many minutes they have played in international competitions, sold the club’s league and played for the club team.

If a player gets enough points, that person has the right to apply for a work permit, or so-called “autopass” based on national team qualifications. This system makes it easy for players from high ranking football countries to score points.

New regulations prevented Sheffield from recruiting Moses O’Connor on Wednesday.

– Sheffield contacted his representatives to find out if it was interesting. It could have been. But after the club calculated on a two-day deal, they concluded that he was not suitable, says host Oscar Kisk on the podcast episode.

Ogbu previously represented clubs such as Gimo IF, IK Sirius, Jönköpings Södra, Al-Ain, Grimsby Town, Mjällby and now Wuhan Three Towns.
