This season:
17 matches, 3 assists, 9 goals
(League is started in spring so it's half-way)
Last season:
27 matches, 10 assists, 5 goals.
(Most assists in the league together with Henrik Larsson)

Today that newspaper say there were rejected bids from Everton, Fulham, Heerenveen and Valenciennes, and that they were nowhere close to his allegded £4.5m price tag.
He was huge in U-21 Euro's, and people say he's the biggest Swedish talent since Zlatan.
