Plymouth Argyle will try to bolster their roster for the second half of the season as the January transfer window draws to a close in order to aid in their fight to stay in the division.

Since there are so many teams in the bottom half of the table who are only a few points apart, this Championship campaign is expected to go right down to the wire, so any mid-season recruits must be prepared to adapt to their new environment as quickly as possible.

With summer arrival Rami Al Hajj stalling after a bright spark and players like Callum Wright and Mustapha Bundu falling short of the second-tier standards, Argyle still needs a creative spark in the midfield areas to keep the club moving forward.

The Green Army will have every chance of renegotiating a deal with Elfsborg’s Michael Baidoo this winter, but if the Pilgrims were to return for a deal at the beginning of 2025, they might run into a familiar obstacle after the Swedish team rejected the Devon team’s initial approach.

With Elfsborg standing solidly in their way, the transfer story involving Baidoo and Argyle continued into the Greens’ last days of the summer transfer season as the two tried all in their power to close a deal.

Although the Home Park team was apparently willing to pay a club record of £1 million to acquire the Ghanaian, Baidoo was believed to have been eager to travel to England and collaborate with Wayne Rooney, a former Manchester United player.

Elfsborg still has a chance to advance in the Europa League as it stands, with Baidoo playing a key role in their adventure across the continent, even though they finished seventh in the Allsvenskan this season, with the Swedish league ending last weekend.

With the new continental competition system, which sees the top 24 teams in the first league stage advance to the knockout phases, the Swedish team is presently holding onto the final qualification position.

With his penalty kick sealing a 1-0 victory over Roma last month, Baidoo has contributed to his team’s four points from as many games, keeping the hope of moving up in the competition alive.

Their prospects of qualifying will become even more apparent with their upcoming matches against Athletic Club and Qarabag, while the group stage will conclude in January with games against Nice and Tottenham Hotspur.

Since this is the club’s first trip to Europe in nine seasons, it makes sense that they would want to give it their all in the competition. Now that their domestic schedule is over, they can concentrate fully on the final four games, which will determine their fate.

For fans of the green inclination, the Europa League group stage, which doesn’t complete until January 30th, might be a long month of wishing and waiting. Elfsborg may have to work hard to retain their best players.

Baidoo is a player that Argyle is vying for at the number ten position, and if they can finally acquire him, the rest of the 24/25 season would look even more promising. His 15 goals in 39 games this season speak for themselves.
