Gunpowder for Espanyol: Sweden's Modin, signed

The female Espanyol has also come on the market in search of a forward to help him achieve the goal of salvation in LaLiga Iberdrola. And he already has Nicole Oldeberg Modin in his hands, a 26-year-old attacker who signed until June 20 and who belonged to the discipline of IK Uppsala Fotboll, a team that plays in the 'Damallsvenskan', the first division in Sweden. The player will join the Rubén Casado discipline in the coming days.

Oldeberg has been in the Swedish top flight since 2012 scoring goals for different teams, and now he has ventured to live an experience away from his country, one of the references of world football, for five months. Recently, in an interview in the Expressen.se medium, Oldeberg acknowledged that soccer is a “conservative” sport and complained about some offensive comments that still exist on social mediaAnd that in the Scandinavian country the tradition of women's football comes from afar: it has been runner-up in the world and the Games and champion of Europe.

Right now Espanyol, which with 18 points has managed to climb positions and distance itself 11 points from the direct descent, is the fourth-lowest scoring team in the championship. With 13 goals scored in 17 games, only clubs immersed in the decline are with fewer goals, such as Sporting Huelva (8), Santa Teresa (9) or Real Betis (12).

With this hiring, the Women already have up to seven different nationalities in a squad that has completely renewed its face after the disastrous previous season, in which they did not add a victory until before the interruption of the championship due to the pandemic.
