In July, Vancouver Whitecaps FC loaned out four players for duty with other professional clubs in Europe, North, and Central America in hopes of increased playing time to further their soccer development. Here’s an update on how they’re doing.
Sam Adekugbe: IFK Göteborg
So far, Sam Adekugbe’s loan to Swedish side IFK Göteborg has proved fruitful.
The 22-year-old Canadian international has made six league appearances, including five starts, for a total of 418 minutes. In those matches, Göteborg have posted a 3W-1L-2D record. Adekugbe also made an appearance for IFK in the Svenska Cupen – a 5-0 victory over Landvetter IS.
