Midfielder Emmanuel Boateng in Elfsborg squad for the first time; set for league debut

Midfielder Emmanuel Boateng is in line to make his Swedish Allsvenskan debut on Sunday after being named in Elfsborg’s trip to bottom club Östersunds FK.

The 24-year-old was finally unveiled last week after a frustrating four months of failing to secure an entry visa and residence permit.

He arrived in Borås on 10 September 2021 and started training with his new teammates the next day.

Elfsborg- who have played one match less-are two points leaders Djurgarden in third place.

Boateng made 28 appearances in all competitions for Tel Aviv and scored one goal in the process
