17-year-old Mattias Siltanen has joined Djurgården after making a joint decision with his family and agent. He considered it the best option on and off the field. Siltanen appreciated the approach from the sporting director Bosse Andersson, describing him as a serious yet laid-back person. Siltanen, who started 24 league matches last year and won both the Finnish Cup and league with KuPS, aims to secure a starting position in the Allsvenskan by 2025.

Matias Siltanen, a 17-year-old Finnish talent, has been officially confirmed to join Djurgården. The transfer was announced during Djurgården's members meeting on Thursday evening, where Siltanen was met with applause as he took the stage. Djurgården's new coach Jani Honkavaara had previously expressed interest in Siltanen, stating that the player wanted to join the club. Siltanen comes from KuPS, the reigning champions in Finland, where he made 22 appearances in the Veikkausliiga last season.

Djurgården is expected to sign the highly sought-after Matias Siltanen in the coming week. No further details are provided.

David Gray's team will face competition from Swedish outfit Djurgarden, who are said to be leading the race to land Siltanen because of the impression made on the player by the club's sporting director Bosse Andersson. Both clubs have lodged bids worth 10 million kroner, which is equivalent to around £720,000.
