Knudsen Joins Malmö - Ipswich Town News
Former Blues left-back Jonas Knudsen has joined Swedish side Malmö FF on a four-year deal.
The move will see the 26-year-old play in Europe next season with Malmö having finished third in the Allsvenskan in 2018 to take a place in the 2019/20 Europa League qualifiers. They are currently top of the league by six points.
Knudsen left Town after a four-year spell this summer with his contract up at the end of the month. Having made it clear he was keen to move on in January no new contract was offered.
Yesterday, the Danish international issued a farewell statement on social media.
"It feels really good. When I heard about the interest from MFF, there was no doubt," Knudsen told the official Malmö website.
"It is a club with high ambitions and it attracts me. Here you will win every match, win titles and play in Europe. It feels great to be part of this club and this team."
Sporting director Daniel Andersson added: "It feels very good that we have attached ourselves to Jonas.
"He is a high-level player who is very professional in everything he does and he will help us a lot in the future."
