    He's talking with Swedish champs Djurgarden - the club confirmed.

    Although there is no agreement yet

    If he moves, call him up for the March friendlies for a look-see.

    I think it would be a good move.

    1. They'll have a chance to be in the Champions' League next season, and will in all likelihood play matches against notable opponents in Europa League.

    2. He'd remain in the shop window and could get into better leagues in the near future due to his EU passport.

    3. He'd be available to play in Olympic qualifying.

    4. If this happens soon maybe he could even be a late add to January camp.

    So mark me down.

    Are you serious?

    Yes. Unless, this club can get through several rounds of qualification for the CL or EL, then he's just playing in a thirdrate league at best.
    No interest from other Championship clubs?

    Which is a massive step up from riding the bench or playing for the reserve team of Fulham

    From solid bench in Fulham to playing for Swedish champs? No drop down at all!

    lol “solid bench” - how many league minutes has he played this year? How many ever for Fulham?

    I think by "solid bench" he meant "firmly nailed to the bench." Not like a regular substitute.

    LDT has 103 first-team minutes this season, which brings his grand total to 379 minutes since he arrived at Fulham in July 2013.

    Maybe. I read it as “he’s a solid bench player at Fulham he’s too good to drop to Swedens first division” - which I think is a silly position. He has made Fulhams bench quite a bit but that has barely translated to any league minutes at all and I don’t think he is too good for Swedens first division. He isn’t that young he needs to start playing professional minutes somewhere to have a shot at a good career. Sweden would be fine.
