"Yes," he said after placing the receiver next to his ear.

"Coach Johansen, how is your evening? It's me, Kristoffer, calling from the city of San Juan de Pasto in Colombia."

As expected, it was the scout he'd sent to Colombia to initiate talks with Yerry Mina, one of the defenders on Zachary's list.

"I was expecting your call, Kristoffer," Coach Johansen replied, leaning back into his seat and smiling to himself. "Did you manage to make any progress with Yerry Mina?"
