Kenyan International Eric ‘Marcelo’ Ouma has admitted that there is a chance he could leave Sweden during the January transfer window, with France-based clubs emerging front runners in the race to sign the defender.Atalanta, Rubin Kazan, Wolfsburg, and Crystal Palace have also been mentioned as interested clubs in the race for the signature of the 25-year old, but he says he has been told mostly of clubs in France.⚽️| What a season it has been for Marcelo💥He caps it all off with a feature in the Swedish Team of the Season🤝🏾Full Story📩#EricMarceloOuma #StarsAbroad #AIKhttps://t.co/wyZHvdlG6s— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) December 15, 2021 In an interview, the speedy fullback acknowledged that his team together with the club are working on a move during this transfer window, but at the same time added that nothing has been agreed on yet between the clubs involved.”My feature plan is to move to a bigger league and it is something that we are working on this January and we will see what happens. There are more teams that are interested but they are communicating with the club (AIK). Mostly they were telling me the interested clubs are in France so I am still waiting,” he said.The defender was cautious with his words, saying that securing a move amicably with all parties getting involved was of interest to him and he would wait to see the outcome from the interaction between AIK and the interested clubs.However, the former Gor Mahia left-back was quick to point out that his move would also heavily rely on his club’s willingness and agreement with interested clubs and not entirely on his own will.”I cannot say I have played my last season in Sweden because it also depends on the club. If the club agrees with the other club that I should go, well and good. I cannot move ahead of the club, if they say they are holding me for some time that will be it. There should be that respect whereby you move in peace. So we just wait and see how the club will be interacting with other clubs for the next move,” he added.⚽🙏 pic.twitter.com/6E4j7udKdd— Erick Ouma (@Erick__ouma) September 21, 2021 Ouma was named in the Discovery+ Team of the Season following his imperious campaign with AIK in the Swedish top tier, a season performance that saw him record five assists and a goal as he predominantly featured at right-back despite being known as a natural left wingback.He also missed out narrowly on the defender of the year award in the Swedish top-tier end-of-season awards, losing to Djurgården’s Hjalmar Ekdal in December.##EDITORS_CHOICE##
