According to Häcken, the 20-year-old will be the club’s most expensive sale ever. According to British media, the transfer fee is equivalent to SEK 53 million.
“Bénie Traore has made an incredible journey in the last year, a journey that is almost unparalleled. It is of course extra fun when such a player and person gets to take the next step and play in the world’s best league,” says BK Häcken’s sporting director Martin Ericsson.
The 20-year-old striker has been noted for twelve goals and two assists in 14 Allsvenska matches this season.
Traore has signed a four-year contract with Sheffield United.
