Gambian youngster Musa Njie is on the verge of completing a four-year contract with Swedish Allsvenskan club Östers IF, marking a major step in his budding football career, Footy-Africa can exclusively confirm.
The 18-year-old arrives from BST Galaxy FC, a club known for nurturing promising talents in The Gambia. Njie has already touched down in Sweden and successfully passed his medical examination, clearing the final hurdle before the official announcement of his transfer.
Njie’s move comes after a fruitful initial engagement with Östers IF earlier this year. He first joined the club on trial in August 2025, where he immediately caught the attention of the technical team. His exceptional work rate, confidence on the ball, and maturity beyond his age were evident throughout the training sessions, showcasing his potential to thrive in European football.

During his trial period, Musa further impressed by scoring a couple of goals for Östers IF’s A-team. His sharp attacking instincts, combined with his ability to adapt quickly to the club’s playing philosophy, set him apart from other prospects.
These standout performances played a decisive role in convincing the Swedish outfit to table a long-term contract for the young winger.
With a four-year deal now within reach, Musa Njie is poised to continue his development on a bigger stage.
His anticipated move to the Allsvenskan will not only offer him exposure in one of Scandinavia’s top leagues but will also serve as inspiration for many young talents in The Gambia aspiring to break into professional football abroad.
