Following a spell with Strasbourg in France, the 24-year-old arrived at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion in 2006, signing a contract until 2010.

But just 19 league appearances in two years have left the former Sweden Under-21 international disillusioned and ready to continue his career elsewhere.

"I don't know what happened really," he told Swedish news agency TT. "All of a sudden the manager wasn't interested in me anymore and he doesn't seem to count on me for the next season either.

He added: "He doesn't even talk to me anymore.

"I know that other clubs are interested so I hope that the situation will be solved soon.

"I am not moving back to Sweden though. I hope to find something else."
