After scoring four goals and making eights assists in all competitions during the 2019 season, during November 2019, Bohinen was linked with a move to Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.[4]
In December 2019, Stabæk entered talks with Premier League side Sheffield United and EFL Championship side Leeds United about the signing of Bohinen,[5][6] with Bohinen joining Sheffield United on trial.[7] When asked about being linked to Leeds, Bohinen on 21 January 2020 spoke to Eurosport Norway saying of Leeds' head coach Marcelo Bielsa 'He is a coaching legend, so of course it would have been an experience in itself to play for him'.[8]
CSKA Moscow
