Österlen FF chief explains terminating Freddy Adu contract

Freddy Adu has left Swedish club Österlen FF.

OFF have announced they've terminated the contract of the former Monaco forward.

The club's vice-chairman Filip Lidgren said," We made the decision last Saturday. We had an agreement with him that he would have the chance to show himself. But from what we have seen, we have a hard time seeing that he will be able to compete. He has a lot of football in him, but the physical and the mental are missing.

"He was clearly disappointed. He's a really nice guy in every way, and I'm convinced he would have been a great football player. But he lacks the physicality required. We were actually a little surprised at how unprepared he was when he came here."
