"Warren has been progressing all the time and has incredible potential to become an elite player in the long run," said Djurgården's academy director, Joel Riddez.

“It's a bit of a success story and a great opportunity for him, with an agreement that feels good for all parties."

According to reports, Leipzig are paying €1 million for the defender, and the fee could rise by a further €2.5 million due to bonuses.
