It was Turay’s goal that completed a superb comeback from two goals down as Djurgarden won the Allsvenskan league title after a 2-2 draw away to Norrkoping on a dramatic final day of the 2019 Swedish season.
“Buya Turay became Swedish Champion and winner of the Golden boot 2019. Now the loan agreement expires, we want to thank him for his time at the club,” the club said in a statement.
“Djurgården’s loan agreement for Buya Turay has expired the whole association, want to thank him for the unforgettable efforts in Djurgårdströjan, for his time in the club which resulted in both a shitty win and the title of Swedish Champion.”
“Thank you for your efforts in Djurgårdströjan, Buya! And good luck with your continued football career.”

Daramy is a target for the Scottish topflight side, and that is according to 90Min. The Scottish Premiership champions have been keeping tabs on one of Danish football’s most exciting young forwards for a while now.
When the two sides lock horns in Europa league doubleheader, the Celtic technical team will get a closer look at Daramy, who has been a revelation for Copenhagen this season.
The Bold, claims that Daramy is valued at around £5 million, but many soccer pundits believe that FC Copenhagen would rather have the man than the money.
Earlier this month, the sensational winger became the youngest player to ever start Copenhagen 2-1 bitter derby victory over city rivals Brondby.
