First memory of playing football?

It would probably be when my dad took me to a local summer camp. I was there for a couple of days and I was the youngest boy there. I had to join in with players that were two years older than me – I really enjoyed it and that’s the first time I remember playing football.

Where did your footballing journey start?

I had two local teams where I lived but you had to be eight years old to start training - luckily I was able to join in when I was six! I started training twice a week and that was where the journey began. I got to play for the team I have supported from young in Sweden. I joined when I was 10 years old and really enjoyed it.

What have been the differences between football in Sweden and England?

There’s a difference in playing style because the game moves much quicker here. I think it’s also a little bit more physical in England, something which I’m working on.

Did you play in any other positions?

When I was a youngster, I played everywhere – in goal and in defence. But since I have been playing 11-vs-11, I've always been a winger. It’s my most enjoyable role.

Who were your idols?

There is only one and that’s Cristiano Ronaldo, always! He’s the player I have tried to learn from. I have always copied his skills from when I was a young kid.

What’s your first memory of watching football?

Me and my dad went to watch the club I last played for in Sweden, IFK Gotthenburg. It is also the team we support. That was my first time watching football live and I enjoyed it.

Which one memory from your career so far has been your favourite?

It would have to be making my international debut for Sweden’s Under-17s, and signing for Chelsea of course. It was special to play for Sweden and putting on the shirt was a big moment for me. We played against Finland but we lost unfortunately.

Our Under-18s are back in action on Friday in the FA Youth Cup fourth round. Kick-off is 12.30pm and the game against AFC Fylde can be watched live on this website and the 5th Stand app.
