BK Hacken sporting director Martin Ericsson has confirmed Benie Traore is leaving.

The striker is set to be sold to Sheffield United.

"We are in concrete negotiations about a sale. I don't really want to comment more than that," he told Göteborgs-Posten.

Häcken's coach Per-Mathias Högmo has been impressed by the striker's development.

"It's amazing the strides he's made from starting to play last winter to where he is today. First of all, great credit to him for that, but also our training environment that pushes the players to get better," Hogmo told GP.
