Torino have almost agreed a deal worth €4m for Djurgarden defender Isak Hien, claim reports, and he’s flying out for his medical soon.
The 23-year-old is a curious figure, because while his primary role is as a centre-back, he has been known to play as a centre-forward when necessary.
That’s largely because of his height, standing at 1.91m, nearly 6ft 3in, and he already found the net once this season in the Conference League qualifier against HNK Rijeka.
According to Aftonbladet and Sky Sport Italia, a deal is close to completion for €4m.
“We can confirm that we are in talks, but as far as we know, there is no agreement yet,” Djurgarden sporting director Bosse Andersson told Aftonbladet.
A medical cannot be done yet, because Hien is in the Djurgarden squad to face Sepsi in tomorrow’s Europa Conference League qualifier.
The Swedes won the first leg 3-1 away from home.
