Potential Ireland recruit Ryan Johansson is off to Spain on loan from Bayern Munich in a bid to gain first-team experience. He was on the fringes of their first team in pre-season, but later in the season, Johnasson featured for Bayern in the UEFA Youth League. Johansson (18) is still rated at Bayern but with the path to first team football there so difficult, the club are close to agreeing a loan deal with Sevilla's B team, who play in the Segunda B division, Spain's third tier. However, due to FIFA rules on eligibility he has been unable to play competitively for Ireland, and his family have taken legal advice over the matter.
