Finnish Midfielder Reportedly Close to Signing with Minnesota United

Swedish Media outlet, Expressen GT, is reporting that Minnesota United is close to a deal that will send 25-year-old Finnish midfielder, Rasmus Schüller, to the Twin Cities.

The midfielder is currently with BK Häcken in the Allsvenskan where they finished 10th in the table this past season. According to the reports above, the signing could be done within a week, but nothing is clear. When the Swedish outlet reached out for comment, the sporting director for BK Häcken was not willing to answer.

According to transfermarkt.com, Schüller is a central midfield player that can play in either a more advanced position or a more defensive central midfield role. The move comes on the heels of reports that United are on track to sign Vadim Demidov, who was most recently in the Norwegian leagues.
