JYP’s star forward Leevi Tukiainen may move to Switzerland for the next season. According to Swiss newspaper Blick, the HC Ajoie, playing in the country’s top league, is strongly pursuing the 26-year-old goal scorer.

Tukiainen has also sparked considerable interest in Finland. Urheilucast previously reported that HIFK, Tappara, and Ilves are targeting the forward for their teams next season.

Ajoie is currently looking for new reinforcements, as Finnish players Kristian Tanus and Anttoni Honka will leave the club after this season. Blick also highlights the possibility that acquiring Tukiainen could affect Julius Nättinen‘s position in the team.

Tukiainen’s contract with JYP ends after this season. He rose to the elite of the league’s goal scorers last season, scoring 29 goals and 44 points in 40 games.

The pace has continued to be strong this season as well. Tukiainen has scored nine goals in 16 games and collected a total of ten points.
