Barcelona signs young Swedish winger Roony Bardghji from Copenhagen - Egyptian Football
Bardghji joined Copenhagen's youth academy from Malmö in 2020 and moved up to the first team in 2022, going on to play 84 games and score 15 goals.
Barcelona said Bardghji's rise was temporarily held back by a knee injury that sidelined him for almost a year.
The club said the Kuwait-born player is 'known for his skill, speed, and goal-scoring ability, qualities that make him a great prospect for the future.'
It said Bardghji has great 'one-on-one skills' and the 'ability to dribble past opponents.'
'His presence on the right wing can, therefore, make the difference and provide more dynamism,' Barcelona said.
Bardghji won three Danish league titles and two Danish Cups with Copenhagen. Barcelona said he made 'decisive contributions' for the team's success.

Brentford signs former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson
Brentford signed England international Jordan Henderson on a two-year deal on Tuesday and described the midfielder as 'one of the most influential leaders' in the Premier League. Former Liverpool captain Henderson was a free agent after having his contract terminated by Ajax last week. 'When we became aware of Jordan's availability, it was a pretty simple decision,' said Brentford coach Keith Andrews. 'He will drive standards and be a brilliant addition to the squad.' The 35-year-old Henderson returns to the Premier League after leaving Liverpool for Saudi Arabian team Al-Ettifaq in 2023. He only stayed in Saudi Arabia for six months before moving to Dutch giant Ajax. It was announced last week that he had requested for his Ajax contract to be terminated with a year remaining on his deal. 'We did our due diligence around his recent games to see where he is: he's still phenomenally fit and he's still phenomenally motivated to achieve things in the game, having already achieved a lot,' Andrews said. Henderson won a full set of trophies with Liverpool, including the Premier League and Champions League. His arrival comes after Brentford sold midfielder Christian Nørgaard to Arsenal this offseason.
