Kelowna sets sights on Canadian Premier League soccer team by 2028

The city of Kelowna is exploring a $25-million investment in its premier sports stadium in a bid to bring a pro soccer club to the community.

Kelowna sets sights on Canadian Premier League soccer team by 2028

Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson, a 22-year-old Swedish international, is in the process of negotiating a potential move to the Premier League. Sky Germany reports that the Swede is currently in London, holding talks with two English clubs. Crystal Palace has been confirmed as one of the interested parties, while the identity of the second club remains undisclosed.

Frankfurt have granted Larsson permission to engage in these negotiations and are seeking a price tag of around €25 million for the midfielder. His current contract with the Bundesliga club runs until 2029. Transfer speculation surrounding Larsson has been ongoing for over a year, with Frankfurt reportedly considering potential successors, including Anton Stach.

The midfielder's situation became clearer when Frankfurt underwent a midfield rebuild under head coach Adi Hütter, bringing in players like Raphael Onyedika and Noël Aséko. Despite some individual availability issues and Frankfurt’s struggles last season, Larsson has been involved in the team's preparations, including scoring the opening goal during a friendly match against Trabzonspor.

With Frankfurt's newly strengthened midfield, a late sale of the Swedish international seems increasingly likely before the summer transfer window closes.
