Swedish club IF Elfsborg approved Michael Baidoo's transfer to Plymouth Argyle, driven by the Ghanaian midfielder's ambition to further his career in England.
The Pilgrims secured Baidoo's signature for an undisclosed club record fee, bringing him over from Elfsborg, where he had been making waves in the UEFA Europa League this season.
Argyle had previously made an offer for the 25-year-old Baidoo last August, and while the midfielder was eager to join them, Elfsborg declined the transfer due to their participation in the Europa League.
However, the Pilgrims remained patient, and when the winter transfer window opened, their persistence paid off as Elfsborg, based in Borås, finally accepted their bid.
Elfsborg director Stefan Andreasson expressed on the club's official website: "Since Michael came to us three years ago, he has made a huge impression and is probably the most popular and successful foreign player we have ever had with us.
"On the football field, he has developed into one of our and the entire Allsvenskan's best players. As a person, he has made an equally big impression with his humble way of always making time for everyone around Elfsborg.
"There has been interest in basically every transfer window, but then we have always had respectful discussions that have ended with loyalty to us as a club. Based on the fact that Michael had a desire to continue his career in the British Isles and that Plymouth has patiently waited and acted in the way we wanted, we have now chosen to accept a transfer.
"Michael has charmed us all and you are touched when a player and person like Michael leaves us, but now it is time to say 'Many thanks Michael for everything you have given us, good luck and we hope to see you again."
Baidoo, the former Vision FC standout, signed a contract with Argyle lasting until the summer of 2028. He made his international debut for Ghana in October, coming on as a substitute during a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan.
The Pilgrims currently sit at the bottom of the Championship table, having accumulated just 20 points from 26 games, with only four wins to their name. However, they will be hopeful that Baidoo's arrival can help spark a turnaround in their fortunes.
