Or it’s always talked about him. It was perfect that he’s here for 18 months, approximately, and then takes the next step.”Andersen played 26 matches in the Allsvenskan last season as they finished 10th in the table, and he has also played in six of their seven league games this campaign as they remain unbeaten in the division.Hacken were previously set to hold out for a fee “well in excess” of the £5-6million mark.
