Wimbledon beat off the attempts of several more fashionable clubs at home and abroad to land this Swedish U21 international for a bargain fee last September. A left-sided midfield player who enjoys going forward but also does his fair share of tracking back into defence, he netted his first goal for the Dons at home to Preston in January. Par took some time to settle in at his new club but is likely to show his full potential in the coming season.
