Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is set to leave Russian top-flight side Arsenal Tula to join an unnamed club in Sweden after the former player of English Premier League side Arsenal clashed with his club's coach.
The 25-year-old is among 12 players who were demoted to the Tula-based club's second side after falling out with the head coach.
In his bid to play competitive football, the Ghanaian is considering an offer from a Swedish club to play until the end of the season, according to a report by Russianfootballnews.com.
Even though Frimpong has one-and-half years remaining on his contract with Arsenal Tula, he is unlikely to return to the club, says Arsenal Tula’s general director Dmitry Balashov.
“We have agreed with Frimpong that he leaves the club,” Balashov said.
“We are in dialogue with a Swedish club, whose name I cannot mention. The loan will last until the summer.”
Frimpong is ending his stay with Tula after just seven months following his arrival August last year following his three years with Russian rivals UFA.
The midfielder is looking to keep his career on course with the move to Sweden after staying for four months without a club before joining Arsenal Tula in August last year.
The Ghanaian stayed with Russian side Ufa for three years but several clashes on and off the field led to his contract not being extended after his three-year stint.
Frimpong was a promising youngster when he was promoted to the senior team of Arsenal in the English Premier League and made his debut in 2001 when he was 19 and two year later he made his debut for the Ghana senior national team after deciding not to play for England.
Since then he was unable to grab regular spot in several sides he went out on loan including Wolves, Charlton and Fulham before moving to Barnsley where he was axed after just four months at the English second tier side.
