No going back: After making a splash at Dana Cup, Tijjani Mohammed agrees move to Hammarby

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that promising Nigerian attacker Tijjani Mohammed has agreed a move to Swedish Allsvenskan club Hammarby. 

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet broke the news that Mohammed is set to join Hammarby after landing in Stockholm on Saturday. 

Hammarby have reached an agreement with Mailantarki FC to sign the former Golden Eaglets attacker on loan for the remainder of the 2024 season, with a purchase clause included in the deal.

Hammarby have made a move for Mohammed after he put himself in the shop window at the recently concluded Dana Cup, starring as Mailantarki FC defeated Lyngdal FC 3-0 in the final match at the Nord Energy Arena Stadium in Hjørring, Denmark.

Mohammed was named Man of the Match in the final, after coming off the bench to register a goal and an assist. 

A high-ranking Mailantarki FC official revealed to allnigeriasoccer.com on Saturday that the confirmation of the deal is imminent, following successful discussions between Hammarby and president of the Nigerian club.

Mohammed has the ideal traits for a goal poacher including speed, precise shooting, and exceptional awareness in connecting with his teammates.

The former Nigeria underage international tried his luck at French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot 63 in January 2024 but nothing came out of it.

He is expected to begin his career in Sweden with Hammarby's feeder team who compete in the Ettan Norra - the third tier of Swedish football.
