Personal

Date signed: 01/07/2023

Date of birth: 08/09/1993
Place of birth: Stockholm (Sweden)

My dream job if I hadn’t become a professional footballer: As a child I wanted to be a doctor or journalist, the latter would've interested me most.
Sports I like besides football: Golf, padel, tennis
My favourite travel destination: Costa Rica
My favourite food: Mexican and Japanese
My favourite book and why I’d recommend it: Pep Confidential. I read the book when I knew I was coming to FCB. I wanted to get to know the club's culture and understand how Pep Guardiola works as a coach.
How I calm down when I'm annoyed after a game: Talking to Pernille helps me. She always understands what I'm going through and is a good listener.
My pre-match ritual: I write in my notebook what I want to concentrate on during the match. I also do breathing exercises.
