Eric Ayuk sent to Jönköpings Södra on loan

Philadelphia Union midfielder Eric Ayuk is going to Sweden. The 20 year old winger has been loaned to Jönköpings Södra IF of the Allsvenskan - Sweden’s first division. The news was officially announced today by a press release.

While he Swedish transfer window closed a few days ago, the move was reportedly delayed due to paperwork.

Och det handlar om arbetstillstånd och sådana grejer. Inte fotbollsmässigt - där är han nog tillräckligt fit.

Ayuk has shown immense promise for the Union, however right wing is a position that the club is very deep at, with Ilsinho, Fabian Herbers, Marcus Epps, and possibly even Alejandro Bedoya being higher on the Union’s depth charts.
