Club career[edit]

Malmö FF[edit]

Born in Svarte, Larsson began his footballing career in SoGK Charlo before signing with Malmö FF as a 12-year-old.[1][2][3] He made his senior debut for Malmö FF on 20 February 2022 in a Svenska Cupen against GAIS, appearing as a late substitute in a 5–1 win.[4] He made his Allsvenskan debut on 11 April 2022 in a 1–1 draw with IF Elfsborg, playing for 45 minutes.[5] Larsson scored his first goal for the club against Degerfors IF on 6 November 2022.[6] Malmö FF struggled in 2022 and finished seventh in Allsvenskan, but Larsson had a breakthrough season and received the Allsvenskan young player of the year award after playing a joint top 46 games for the club in all competitions.[7][8] In his final home game before his recently announced move to Eintracht Frankfurt, Larsson scored the first goal in a 5–0 win and received standing ovations while being substituted in the 82nd minute.[9]

Eintracht Frankfurt[edit]

On 29 May 2023, Larsson signed for Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee, a record fee received for a Swedish club. He would officially join the German club upon the opening of the summer transfer window on 1 July.[10][11]

International career[edit]

Larsson has represented the U19 and U21 teams.[12] He made his full international debut for Sweden on 9 January 2023, playing for 68 minutes in a friendly 2–0 win against Finland before being replaced by Omar Faraj.[13]
