Whitecaps loan Canadian defender Sam Adekugbe to Swedish club IFK Goteborg
VANCOUVER — Sam Adekugbe is on the move again.
The Vancouver Whitecaps announced Tuesday that the 22-year-old defender has been loaned to Swedish first division club IFK Goteborg until the end of 2017.
The Canadian international recently returned from a year-long loan with then-English Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion, where he made five first-team appearances across all competitions.
Adekugbe travelled back to Vancouver in March to deal with a nagging injury, but was included in Canada’s squad at the CONCACAF Gold Cup earlier this month where he started two of his country’s four matches.
