The 23-year-old defender thus strengthens an already strong team in league-leading Norrköping. And for Norrköping's manager Jens Gustafsson, it's nice to get Wahlqvist back.

- Linus is one of our guys. It is extra gratifying when they choose to come home. We know that IFK Norrköping is building it in both the short and long term, he says to Norrköping's website.

During the season, Wahlqvist has kept a close eye on the club he now joins.

- I've seen all the matches. It is an incredibly good team with many skilled players. They have done very well and I hope I can contribute.
