Djurgården has secured the return of forward Joel Asoro on a loan deal from French club FC Metz, as confirmed by the club on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. The 26-year-old will remain with Djurgården until August 15th.
A Familiar Face Returns to Stockholm
The move comes after reports from Expressen on March 11th indicated Djurgården’s interest in bringing back the former fan favorite. Asoro previously played for Djurgården, scoring 21 goals and providing 13 assists in 98 matches before his transfer to Metz in the summer of 2023.
What Asoro Brings to Djurgården
Djurgården had been seeking an offensive reinforcement, specifically a player capable of playing as a striker or winger. Asoro has also met with Djurgården’s coach, Jani Honkavaara, to discuss his role within the team.
Asoro’s Perspective on the Move
“It feels good to be back and I understand how everything works here at Djurgården,” Asoro stated on the club’s website. He also highlighted his positive impression of the upgraded facilities at Kaknäs, noting the professional standards comparable to those he experienced abroad.
Fitness and Expectations
Asoro acknowledged that he may demand a few matches to regain peak form after a month without competitive play. However, he expressed confidence in his physical condition and believes he can quickly adapt to the team’s system. “I feel ‘fine’ and then you have to take 2-3 matches to get going, that should not be more than that for me,” he said.
