25-year-old Jordan Larsson is close to joining the recently promoted Bundesliga side on a free, as Schalke look to improve their attacking ranks. Larsson was released by Spartak Moscow this summer which has led to a whole list of teams looking for his signature. But, Schalke have reportedly won the sweepstakes.
The Swedish forward had the best season of his career in 2020/21 where he recorded 15 goals and 5 assists in Russia. This past year, Larsson struggled through muscle injuries and was loaned out to Sweden to finish the campaign with AIK.
