Then I can move on,&#8221; Al Jebouri told Swedish newspaper Kurien.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I assume that Rafael York, Alexander Michael and Felix Michel will not play at AFC Eskilstuna in 2023, so I have to work with other names,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Times Sport understands that some teams in the Allsvenskan, which is the first division league in Sweden, are monitoring York\u2019s situation at Eskilstuna in an attempt to swoop him before the transfer window ends in March 2023.<\/p>\n<p>York previously played for a number of Swedish clubs including Gefle, Sandvikens IF and IFK Varnamo as well as then German second tier side VFL Bochum.<\/p>\n<p>Born to an Angolan father and a Rwandan mother in Stockholm, York played for Sweden up to the U19 level before switching allegiance to Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>He made his Amavubi debut on October 7, 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Uganda.
