Abdul Abdulmalik has just become the most expensive player in the history of non-league football after being signed by Djurgårdens for £1.5million. It’s a dream move for the young winger but wait until he experiences those Djurgårdens fans! 🇸🇪

Sitting here randomly wondering how certain Premier League clubs have an uncanny knack of signing players who flop* but still managing to sell them for huge profits. Can anyone make it make sense?
* Exhibit A: Rory Delap scored three times for Chelsea last season, yet they are still reported to be turning a £20million profit.
* Exhibit B: Savinho has mustered seven goals across two seasons at Manchester City but they’re reported to be making a £55million profit!!!
