Goal. When it comes to foreign players in Allsvenskan, he is the biggest thing ever. In modern times I can only think of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played eight games for Malmo before leaving for Ajax in 2001.
“There is no one above him when it comes to class and quality.”
Hamsik intends to play regularly before the European Championship this summer and comes to Allsvenskan on the back of having his contract at Dalian Professional terminated.
Boyhood club Slovan Bratislava, where Hamsik left at the age of 17, were also interested but there was one crucial contract clause which gave Goteborg the edge.

Varbergs BoIS midfielder Luke Le Roux has been tipped for a huge future in Europe after an impressive debut season in the Swedish Allsvenskan.
Le Roux departed SuperSport United for the Swedish top-flight as a teenager in February last year without having made his league debut for the club.
With just a handful of games in the CAF Confederation and Nedbank Cup competitions, the technically gifted midfielder exceeded expectations by developing into an ever-present figure under manager Joakim Persson as they retained their league status in their first-ever season in the Swedish top-flight.
And the former Atalanta midfielder was full of praise for the contribution to the five-time capped Amajita star who s considered one of the most promising talents in the league.
Those that remain, such as Everton star Gylfi Sigurdsson, are - for the most part - the wrong side of 30 and not able to mix it with the world s best as they once did.
One of international football s most memorable modern fairy tales is seemingly at an end. Or is it?
While Sigurdsson and company might be coming towards the end of their journeys, a new cohort of Icelandic footballing talent is beginning to show itself.
Though injury has set him back somewhat over the past year, 18-year-old Andri Gudjohnsen - the son of ex-Barcelona and Chelsea star, Eidur - is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Real Madrid s youth ranks.
