Manager of Swedish topflight side Östersunds FK, Amir Azrafshan is interested in working with Ghanaian defender Patrick Kpozo.  

The former Inter Allies left back returns to his parent club after a successful loan spell with Division one side IFK Luleå.

Kpozo's contract with Östersunds FK is set to expire in December, but following an impressive spell at Luleå, the topflight side is open to negotiations with the player.

Kpozo made 26 appearances whiles on loan, scoring six times and providing three assists as Luleå finished 10th in the just ended Swedish Division One League.

"He has some exceptional qualities and it is important to get them out, like any other player. There is a reason why he came to Östersund from the beginning," Azrafshan told Ostersunds-Posten. 

"Then sometimes it does not work and then you have to find yourself in a different environment. It has gone quite well for him in LuleÃ¥," he added. 

The former Ghana youth defender was sent on loan during the time of Ian Burchnall, but it is understood new gaffer Amir Azrafshan could be interested in working with him.

However, he will have to fight competition from Kalpi Ouattara and Marco Weymans.

The 23-year-old previously played for AIK and Tromso.
