The 21-year-old talented midfielder Frank Junior Adjei is ready for Hammarby while midfield colleague Wenderson has signed for Elfsborg.

Adjei's contract is written over the season 2029.

"With Adjei, we get a young, developable player who, despite his age, has already made over 50 allsvenska matches. He can play in several positions on the midfield and will contribute with, above all, his creativity", says Hammarby's sports manager Mikael Hjelmberg to the club's website.

Ghanaian Frank Junior Adjei has been important for Värnamo and played in all of the team's 15 league matches this season. Wenderson, on the other hand, has mainly acted as a substitute.

"Finally. IF Elfsborg is a big club with good players and fantastic fans. I'm so glad to be here", says the Brazilian to Borås club's website.

Hammarby is found in second place in allsvenskan while Elfsborg is fourth.
