Learn About the Most Important Police Deals
The Police Club continued its strong moves in the summer transfer market, announcing three foreign deals to strengthen the team's ranks before the start of the 2026-2027 season of the Iraq Stars League. The deals were distributed between defense and midfield with the aim of retaining the league title and competing continentally.
The first deal was the signing of Colombian center-back Diego Hernandez, coming from the Colombian club Rionegro Aguilas. The deal was completed on a one-season loan.
Hernandez is 26 years old, born in 2000, and is characterized by a strong physical build with a height of 190 cm. The young defender has experience in the Colombian league, having represented several local clubs before moving to the harp. The signing was made to compensate for any potential shortage in the backline and to provide the coach with a solid defensive option in aerial balls and tackles.
The second deal had an offensive character with the inclusion of Nigerian midfielder Kingsley Koko, coming from the Qatari club Al-Gharafa. Koko had an exceptional season in the Qatari league, participating in all 38 of his team's matches, scoring 18 goals, and providing 4 assists.
The numbers confirm that Koko is not a traditional midfielder but a player with a high scoring sense and the ability to make decisive plays from deeper areas. The Police management is betting on him to be one of the keys to play and a game-changer in the final third of the field.
The third deal was Argentine midfielder Cristian Barco, who moved to the harp from the Erbil club. Barco left a clear mark with the northern team last season, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 assists in 23 matches he participated in.
The Argentine excels in playing as an advanced playmaker, characterized by vision and decisive passes, in addition to his ability to shoot from outside the area. His presence will provide the Police midfield with greater tactical diversity and more options in building attacks.
