The 28-year-old has made a number of high-profile moves that have simply left him floundering at big name clubs.
A major presence in the Swedish domestic league, he was snapped up by Serie A giants AC Milan but failed to register much of an impact.
A switch to Newcastle United and later Benfica were equally unsuccessfully before he returned to Sweden and AIK.
As well as a series of faltering moves, he has been plagued by injuries but finally looks clear for the trip to the Far East.
He looks unlikely to push Henrik Larsson, Marcus Allback and Zlatan Ibrahimovic took vehemently as the first pick of the strikers.
