Devise 4,475 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 News coming out of the London United circle is that despite a good healthy working relationship with management Sven Reikkinen and his agent have decided relatively early in the news cycle to declare that they will in fact be testing free agency. After remaining silent for much of the season, Sven had a prepared statement read aloud from his agent at a quick media briefing being held to cover the breaking story. "I am here today to say that when the season is up and my contract has run dry I will be using my option to test free agency. I do not want London management or fans to think that this means that I will in fact be leaving the United. We have a very passionate team that is working hard to build a good core going forward, and I've always stated I had no problem being apart of that. For me, personally this is about wanting the ability to look at how other teams would value me, where they would use me, and what that could mean for the rest of my career going forward. I respectfully wish to say nothing else on this matter, and therefore consider this to be a closed subject. I look forward to trying to push to the playoffs this season with my London teammates and we'll see what happens heading into Season 81." It will be interesting to see what kind of market forms around the budding defender, who despite team struggles has been having a career year with the United. However in a league with a lot of full slots, especially on D will any team be able to sacrifice the salary to utilize Sven, or even want to when some of them have more capable/noteworthy stars already in. One thing is for certain, declaring THIS early that you will be a free agent target means GM's have more time to start thinking about the possibility that Sven could be in their off-season plans.
