Taha Ali comes closest from Scania rival Helsingborg, who left the Allsvenskan last season.
But it will therefore be an Allsvenskan game for Ali in Malmö FF.
The attacking midfielder has signed a four-year contract with the sky blues.
- The football that MFF stands for, now also with Rydström at the helm, is attractive and suits me.
I think I can develop and achieve a lot.
There are all the prerequisites.
I'm looking forward to making my debut in the MFF jersey and showing why I'm here.
- Last year I should have scored more points, but it was a learning experience and, on the whole, a good season.
I bring a lot of positives with me to this new chapter in my career, he says.
Sports manager Daniel Andersson about the signing.
- Taha Ali is a player that we have followed over the years and that Henrik Rydström also wanted to bring in.
We understand the importance of players who are skilled one-on-one and when Veljko left we lost a bit of that piece of the puzzle, he says
