Sandefjord has strengthened its midfield by signing Ervin Gigovic from Helsingborg. The 22-year-old Swedish midfielder has played 137 matches for Helsingborg and is now set to join Sandefjord until the 2030 season.
What does this mean for the budget?
Gigovic has scored five goals and provided two assists this season in Sweden's second tier. Sandefjord has already used a large part of its budget on other signings, but this signing is a long-term investment that could pay off in the fight for Eliteserien.
Where does he fit in the current squad?
With Devon Koswal, Marcus Melchior and Nikolaj Möller sidelined, Sandefjord has three midfielders available for the next match. Gigovic can play both as an inner and outer midfielder and gives the coach more tactical options.
