Long-serving West Bromwich Albion defender Jonas Olsson is moving back to Sweden to join Djurgarden IF after having his contract cancelled.

But the Premier League club have agreed to cancel his deal early so he can move to back to his homeland in time for the start of their new top-flight season.

"Albion has, and will always be, a huge part of my life," the 34 year old said.

"It's all happened so quickly I've not had chance to say a proper farewell to so many people,

"I will be back at the first chance to do that. But I'm really grateful to the club for helping me sort out this transfer," the Swede told the club website.
