context_page_description: Mohamed Bangura is a professional footballer from Sierra Leone who plays as a striker for Akropolis IF.
context_section_description: In late August 2012, he once again joined AIK, this time on loan until the end of 2012. After the move, Bangura said returning to the club could hopefully revive his deadly reputation and he believed going back to Sweden would be a good boost for his career.
  At the beginning of January 2013, Bangura joined Swedish 2012 champions Elfsborg on a 1-year loan from Celtic, in a new venture for the club's forthcoming Champions League qualification campaign. The estimated cost for Bangura's loan is to be £1 million. At Elfsborg, Bangura started to improve his goalscoring form, unlike his time at AIK, including a brace in a 6–0 win over Brommapojkarna on 23 May 2013.
  On 31 July 2013, in a buildup to a match against his parent club in the Third qualifying round of the Champions League, Manager Neil Lennon disapproved of the club letting Bangura playing against them after advising him not to play. In response, Manager Bo Johansson, on the other hand, disagrees with Lennon and described his comments “unacceptable and scandalous” and will let him play in both legs. Joe Ledley made a statement to Bangura, warning him never come back to Celtic if Elfsborg eliminate Celtic from the Champions League and expressed his opinion on Bangura, that "I don’t think it would be the best move for him [Bangura]." Eventually, Bangura played the match against his parent club and ended up losing 1–0.
