Mansson leaves January move open amid Premier League links

IFK Goteborg midfielder Oliver Mansson has left open the possibility of a January transfer, saying he has not decided whether to stay at the Swedish club. The 17-year-old has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Speaking to Swedish outlet Sportbladet, Mansson said discussions about his future involved his agents, but his immediate priority was completing the season. He also indicated that remaining with Goteborg was an option and said he hoped for a good spring if he stayed.

Goteborg scouting manager David Vukovic will attend a TransferRoom conference in Lisbon, where he confirmed Mansson's future would be discussed. Vukovic said meetings were scheduled with representatives from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, and that interest in arranging talks with Goteborg had increased.

Mansson, a deep-lying midfielder, has been in the starting lineup for Goteborg's last 14 Allsvenskan games. Sports Mole reported that several European clubs were following him, with scouts allegedly attending the club's 1-1 draw with Djurgarden. His Goteborg contract runs until December 2028.
