Young Swedes on Trial - Ipswich Town News
Swedish youngsters Mikael Hackzell and Alexander Vrebac are set to train with the Blues next week as their club Örgryte seeks to forge links with the Town academy. The Blues have similar arrangements with various sides across Europe, including Dutch club Heerenveen and Norwegians ODD Grenland.
The two 15-year-old midfielders could be recruited to the Town youth set-up if they impress. Örgryte's U15 coach Jon-Petur Robertsson is joining them on the trip.
Both youngsters have already played at U18 level for the Gothenburg club who are in the top Allsvenskan division.
