Örebro SK informed Hamse Shagaxle that he would not get playing time and should look to move on, surprising the player. According to Fotbolltransfers, Hamse Shagaxle described the decision as shocking and hurtful, noting that the club had always believed in him. The parties agreed to terminate his contract early, though the specific reasons for Örebro SK's move remain unclear.
Hamse Shagaxle then joined IFK Göteborg for a training camp in Portugal for a trial. According to Fotbollskanalen, IFK Göteborg's football manager Jesper Jansson contacted Hamse Shagaxle after he left Örebro SK. Italian club Spezia contacted Hamse Shagaxle shortly after he joined IFK Göteborg's training camp.
They said that I would not get playing time and that I should look to move on. It was shocking. They have always believed in me. It hurt.
According to Fotbolltransfers, Hamse Shagaxle described how his agent informed him of Spezia's great interest, leading to a concrete offer that required quick decisions. IFK Göteborg had not made a final decision to sign Hamse Shagaxle, and according to Fotbolltransfers, he described being torn between staying with Göteborg where his future was uncertain and signing for Spezia who wanted him. Hamse Shagaxle ultimately signed with Spezia, though the terms and duration of his contract have not been disclosed.
According to Fotbollskanalen, Hamse Shagaxle described the move as too good to refuse, expressing gratitude for the chance with IFK Göteborg but noting it was their loss.
My agent called and said that Spezia showed great interest. Then I didn't know how it would turn out. A few days passed, then he called again and said it's concrete and that the club wants me to fly to Italy. I wanted to wait a bit. I felt really good with Göteborg, but I didn't have much time to think. I had to make quick decisions.
They (IFK Göteborg) were a bit taken aback, they wanted to see me even longer and that I should train for another week and play a U21 match to get a complete picture. Then I had to weigh between being in Göteborg where I didn't know if they ultimately wanted me, or signing for Spezia who wanted me. It became quite easy.
I didn't even know if Göteborg wanted me. At the same time, Spezia was too good to say no to.
I went there on loan and didn't know what the future in ÖSK would be. I had one year left on my contract and wanted to come back and show my true sides. I trained really hard during the autumn and was very eager to return to ÖSK and show my full potential.
But I took it as fuel and pushed even harder.
Jesper knows me, when he was sports director in Öster during 2024 he saw me and showed interest. Now he contacted me and said that IFK Göteborg wanted to see me in their environment.
How do you view that Örebro didn't want you, but that a better team like IFK Göteborg did? - It's a bit strange. But it's their loss. It's their decision. If they don't want to keep me, then that's how it is.
I knew that I didn't have my best season in ÖSK but I knew that my potential would fit at a higher level.
I became very happy and am incredibly grateful for that. Jesper gave me the chance to show myself and be in their environment. He wanted the coaching team and Hannes to see me.
