Dandal Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Ademolu's contract with swedish 2nd tier Trelleborgs FF finishes in november. He's had a great season so far and is negotiating a renewal with Trelleborg, one of the top sides in the league, possibly looking at promotion. But he has also impressed other clubs. Trelleborg has an offer from swedish premier division GIF Sundsvall and norwegian Tromsø (Bernier?) has also been in touch asking about Ademolu. Trelleborg has already started looking at possible replacements. It's fairly certain that Ademolu will either have resigned with Trelleborg or moved to a scandinavian premier division side before the end of August. He's much to valuable to be released as a Bosman.

Dandal Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Just a little follow-up: Trelleborg has turned down the offer from GIF Sundsvall. They didn't offer enough money - "Nothing under a million (US$125K) is negotiable" says Trelleborg. Tromsø has confirmed that they are interested http://fotball.adressa.no/nyhetsarkiv/article.jhtml?articleID=81754 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandal Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Stephen Ademolu has signed with Tromsø. He will join them at the latest when his contract with Trelleborg finishes at the end of the year. Tromsø wants him to join the team already this summer, but then they have to present a bid that will satisfy Trelleborg. Good step for Ademolu; better pay, higher league. But there is a risk that Tromsø gets relegated (awfully close right now) while Trelleborg promotes (not unthinkable). In that case there's still the money of course.

Gian-Luca Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well lets hope he stays in the Norwegian top flight next season. Seems like a good move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandal Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Tromsø and Trelleborg has been negotiating a transfer fee for Ademolu, but failed to reach an agreement. Without mentioning any sums, both clubs have stated that the gap between them is to big. Swedish version here and norwegian here. A bit disappointing for Stephen, since he'll miss out on Tromsø's UEFA cup matches - they start in the second qualification round, where the opposition seems manageable.

Gian-Luca Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 So does this mean he'll leave on a Bosman situation and it will just be a delayed move rather than an instant one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjoni Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Wonder how long it will take before they reach an agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandal Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Just a short Ademolu update for those interested: Tromsø's head coach Otto Ulseth watched Ademolu play in the 0-0 draw against AIK this weekend. He liked what he saw and thinks Ademolu looks like a good catch. He calls him "fast, low gravity point, good balance. Calm when shooting the ball. Not a dribbler but good in the play without ball. Not very good defensively." The main problem should be to get him to gel in Tromsø's 4-2-3-1. In Trelleborg's 4-4-2 he is one of two forwards, but the striker position in Tromsø is already occupied. My interpretation is that they probably want to play him as a winger. Anyhow, what Ulseth saw was good enough to make him want to reopen the negotiations with Trelleborg for an early transfer.

Dandal Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 And it's a deal! Trelleborg and Tromsø has reached an agreement "to everybody's satisfaction" according to Trelleborg's official website and Stephen Ademolu will leave for Tromsø without further delay.

Winnipeg Fury Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 A big step-up for SA and all the best to him. Hopefully he will have the same impact for his club as the other Canucks have had in Norway's top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
