Barca sign Swedish teen Bardghji from Copenhagen

PA Media/dpa London Barcelona have completed a deal for exciting Swedish teenager Roony Bardghji. The 19-year-old Kuwait-born winger joins the Spanish champions from FC Copenhagen and has signed until June 2029. Bardghji joined Copenhagen from Malmö in 2020 and went on to play 84 games and score 15 goals for the Danish club. He rose to prominence in the 2023-24 season, scoring a dramatic late Champions League winner against Manchester United in a 4-3 victory. Bardghji subsequently suffered a serious knee injury that left him on the sidelines for nearly a year. Barcelona said on the club website: 'As a wide player, Bardghji is known for his one-on-one skills, his ability to dribble past opponents and his effectiveness in front of goal. 'His presence on the right wing can, therefore, make the difference and provide more dynamism.'

The Catalan club said Monday it reached an agreement with the Danish club for the transfer of Bardghji. It called him 'one of the most in-demand young players in Europe.'

It said Bardghji has great 'one-on-one skills' and the 'ability to dribble past opponents.'
