Former Hammarby IF scout Borje Gustavsson is backing new signing Gershon Koffie to shine at the Swedish top-flight side.
Koffie joined the Stockholm-based side on a three year deal after leaving MLS side New England Revolution.
Gustavsson scouted Gershon in 2009 but the player headed to Canadian side Vancouver Whitecaps where he featured prominently in the MLS.
''I scouted Gershon in 2009 when I visited Ghana and took him to Hammarby who helped him with a surgery. When he was fit, they didn't have a good budget to sign him. Now he is back,'' Gustavsson says.
''Gershon is a good player and I think he will take a place in the first XI though I haven't seen him for many years but I hope he has developed in the way I thought when I first saw him.''
