In a new step towards strengthening its ranks before the start of the upcoming football season, Erbil Club is close to finalizing the deal for young Iraqi midfielder Lucas Shlemon, who is currently playing in the Swedish league with Orebou. This comes after the latter officially announced the mutual termination of the player's contract, opening the door for his transfer to a new team during the current transfer period.

Close sources to Erbil's management indicated that negotiations with Shlemon have reached advanced stages, with a clear desire from both parties to complete the deal. The yellow club believes that the player possesses the technical specifications that could provide a qualitative addition in the midfield position, benefiting from his professional experience in Europe despite his young age.

Lucas Shlemon, who is 22 years old and born in February 2003, has previously represented the Iraqi national team on several occasions and has drawn attention with his impressive performance and ability to play multiple roles in midfield, making him a target for several clubs both inside and outside Iraq. Erbil hopes that signing the player will contribute to enhancing the quality of the midfield and supporting the squad with young options capable of making a difference.

Although the deal has not been finalized yet, current indicators confirm that Shlemon's transfer to Erbil is a matter of time, given the alignment of views between the club and the player, and both parties are seeking an agreement that ensures the success of the anticipated experience in the Iraqi league.
