Club career
editMalmö FF
editBorn in Svarte, Larsson began his footballing career in local team SoGK Charlo, and continued with Ystads IF before signing with Malmö FF as a 12-year-old.[1][2][3] As a youngster he played as a forward and was renowned for his goalscoring record, leading to a one-week trial with Chelsea FC before his move to Malmö FF. As Larsson progressed through the club's academy, central midfielder became his new position.[4] 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.[5] He made his Allsvenskan debut on 11 April 2022 in a 1–1 draw with IF Elfsborg, playing for 45 minutes.[6] Larsson scored his first goal for the club against Degerfors IF on 6 November 2022.[7] 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.[8][9] 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.[10]
Eintracht Frankfurt
editOn 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 officially joined the German club upon the opening of the summer transfer window on 1 July.[11][12] On 8 October, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 2–0 win over Heidenheim.[13] Two months later, on 9 December, he netted his second goal in a 5–1 victory over Bayern Munich.[14] On 31 August 2024, Larsson scored his first goal of the season, in a 3–1 home win against TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
