Malmo striker Toivonen hails Ahmedhodzic: But is he ready for Chelsea? | OneFootball

Malmo FF striker Ola Toivonen is amazed by the talent of teammate Anel Ahmedhodzic.

The Bosnia international is being watched by PSV and AC Milan, while it's emerged Chelsea are preparing an €8m bid ahead of the January market.

And his future is now coming into sharp focus after helping Malmo FF confirm themselves as Allsvenskan champions this weekend. A 4-0 win over Sirius leaves Malmo ten points clear at the top of the table with three games to play.

Toivonen, back in Sweden after a spell in Australia with Melbourne Victory, was on the scoresheet against Sirius and admits he's quickly been won over by Ahmedhodzic.

Asked about the former Nottingham Forest junior, Toivonen said on Dplay via Fotbolltransfers.com: "It is something exceptional that we see in Swedish football. There is nothing to stick under the chair with. I have been to many clubs now and seen many young players over the years, but what he already has at this young age is very much of what is needed."

Asked if the youngster should move to Chelsea, Toivonen wasn't so sure.

He explained: "(He needs) a team where he plays every week. A top team in Holland or a middle team in Germany, I think would suit him very well for his development."

Now 34, Toivonen spent five years in Holland with PSV Eindhoven and also four years in France with Rennes and Toulouse. The Sweden international has also played in England with Sunderland.
