Abdul Abdulmalik transfers from Boreham Wood to Djurgården

Overview

Swedish club Djurgårdens IF has made multiple attempts to sign forward Abdul Abdulmalik from Boreham Wood during the summer transfer window. After an initial £750,000 bid, the Swedish side submitted a second offer of approximately £1 million, which Boreham Wood rejected.

Following a subsequent reported bid of £1.5 million, Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter confirmed the club had again turned down the offer. The chairman stated the club must act “smartly, unemotionally and for some very good reasons” to protect the club's interests. In his programme notes, Hunter described the situation as “business as usual” and acknowledged the frustration of the player, his family, and his advisors.

In response to the rejected offers, Abdulmalik has reportedly requested to leave the club. The 23-year-old is coming off a highly successful 2025-26 season in which he recorded 17 goals and 10 assists, helping the team reach the National League play-off final.

Negotiations concluded with Djurgården signing the winger in a record-breaking deal. The transfer fee is believed to exceed £1.5 million, surpassing the previous record for a player moving from the English fifth tier. Abdulmalik has signed a contract with the Stockholm-based club that runs until December 31, 2029.
