Early career

[edit]

While his father, Henrik Larsson, played for FC Barcelona, Larsson played for Barcelona's La Masia academy. He began his senior career at Högaborgs BK in the Swedish Football Division 2, the fourth level of the sport in the country. On 19 June 2013, in a match against Tenhults IF, 15-year-old Larsson played alongside his 41-year-old father, who was making a comeback due to an injury crisis at Högaborg.[2][3]

Aged 16 in January 2014, Larsson was tracked by another of his father's former employers, Manchester United.[4] Instead, he signed a four-year deal for the city's main club Helsingborgs IF, the same transfer that his father had made 22 years prior.[5]

Helsingborgs IF

[edit]

Larsson made his first team debut in the Allsvenskan on 27 July 2014, coming on as a substitute for Mattias Lindström in the 73rd minute of a 1–1 home draw against Örebro SK.[6] On 26 August, he made his first start away to Division 2 team Torslanda IK in the second round of the Svenska Cupen, scoring in each half of a 4–1 away win.[7] That November, his father took over as the team's manager, and assured the public that he would not practise nepotism.[8] The following 4 March in the group stage of the competition, Larsson opened a 2–2 draw against Superettan team Syrianska FC with a goal that received attention abroad for the quality of its technique, reminiscent of his father.[9][10][11]

Larsson scored his first league goal for Helsingborg on 6 June 2015 in the second minute of a 3–0 win against Åtvidabergs FF, two weeks before his 18th birthday.[12] On 19 July, he added two more in a 3–1 win over AIK at Olympia,[13] and a further two on 20 August in an 8–1 win at fifth-tier Lunden ÖBK in the second round of the cup, which led to interest from IFK Göteborg.[14]

After Helsingborg lost their relegation play-off to Halmstads BK in November 2016, Larsson, who scored a late goal that would have kept them up, was attacked by hooligans from his own team, who rushed onto the pitch and tore off his shirt. His father subsequently planned to send him on holiday for his protection.[15]

NEC

[edit]

On 2 January 2017, Larsson transferred from Helsingborg to the Dutch Eredivisie as his father did in 1993, and signed for NEC.[16] He made his debut eleven days later in a 1–0 win at Willem II, replacing Kévin Mayi after 59 minutes.[17] He scored his first goals in Dutch football on 18 August, one in each half of a 3–1 home win over Almere City FC in the first game of the season.[18] NEC finished the season with relegation to the Eerste Divisie via the play-offs.[citation needed]

IFK Norrköping

[edit]

Larsson returned to the Allsvenskan on 2 January 2018, when he signed a three-year deal with IFK Norrköping.[19] Mainly a substitute in his first season back in the league, he scored just once, in a 3–1 win over Kalmar FF on 15 April.[20] Two weeks later he was sent off as the VitBlå suffered a first home defeat of the season to Trelleborgs FF, for a high challenge on Robin Nilsson.[21] On 23 August, in the second round of the Svenska Cupen, he scored a hat-trick in a 10–0 win at sixth-tier Brottby SK.[22]

In July 2019, in his first European tie, Larsson scored in a 2–1 (4–1 aggregate) win over Ireland's St Patrick's Athletic in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[23]

Spartak Moscow

[edit]

On 2 August 2019, Russian Premier League club FC Spartak Moscow announced the signing of Larsson for around €4 million.[24]

He scored his first goal for Spartak on 25 August in a game against PFC Krylia Sovetov Samara.[25] On 27 October 2019, he scored twice after coming on as a substitute in the second half in a 3–0 victory over FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[26]

The regulations allow foreign players in Russia to suspend their contracts until the end of the 2021–22 season and sign with a club outside of Russia until that date.[27] On 4 April 2022, Larsson used the new rule to join AIK on a short-term deal, one of the only Spartak players to do so.[28]

He made his debut for the club six days later in the home premiere against IFK Norrköping.[29] Larsson went straight into the starting eleven and made an assist after 15 minutes when he lifted the ball from a corner to Alexander Milošević who scored the match's only goal.[30] He scored his first goal for the club on 1 May 2022 during an away match against GIF Sundsvall which ended in a 2–0 victory.[31]

He scored the second goal for the club on 21 May 2022 in a 2–2 draw against IK Sirius at Friends Arena.[32] The following match, Larsson scored the decisive goal against his old club Helsingborgs IF at Olympia, which AIK won 2–1.[33] He played his last match for the club on 26 June 2022 when he played 61 minutes of a 1–1 draw against Degerfors IF.[34] During his time at the club, he produced 3 goals and 2 assists in 11 Allsvenskan matches.

On 27 June 2022, Larsson's contract with Spartak was terminated by mutual consent.[35]

Schalke 04

[edit]

On 5 August 2022, Schalke 04 signed him on a free transfer until the end of the 2024–25 season.[36]

Copenhagen

[edit]

On 7 October 2015, in the first game of 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium, Larsson assisted and then was assisted by Gustaf Nilsson as Sweden won 2–0 against Belarus.[39] They advanced from the qualifying round but were eliminated in the elite round.[citation needed]

He made his under-21 debut on 3 June 2016, coming on in added time for Arber Zeneli and scoring the winner in a 3–2 victory over Georgia at Rimnersvallen, in qualification for the 2017 European Championship.[40]

Larsson was one of three forwards chosen by coach Håkan Ericson for the team at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.[41] However, he was withdrawn by his father and club manager, as Helsingborg only had one other striker available.[42]

On 7 January 2018, he made his debut for the senior national team playing 64 minutes in a 1–1 friendly draw with Estonia in Abu Dhabi.[43] Two years and two days later he scored his first international goal, the only one of a friendly win against Moldova in Qatar.[44]

In the KNVB Beker, he added 2 appearances, 1 goal, and 1 assist over 167 minutes. Larsson's output reflected adaptation difficulties as a young forward transitioning abroad, with inconsistent starting opportunities amid in NEC's attack. The club ended the season in 8th place, failing to qualify for promotion playoffs and extending their stay. These modest statistics underscored limited integration into the squad, prompting his subsequent pursuit of higher-level prospects after one full season.

IFK Norrköping

In his debut season, he primarily featured as a substitute, appearing in 25 league matches and scoring 1 goal with 0 assists, while adding 1 assist in 3 games.

His contributions, including timely strikes against key opponents, helped bolster IFK Norrköping's attack and supported the team's push toward the upper half of the table, enhancing overall stability amid a competitive season. On 2 August 2019, amid interest from larger clubs, Spartak Moscow secured Larsson's services for a €4 million transfer fee, reflecting his domestic scoring metrics and potential for higher-level play.

Spartak Moscow

On 2 August 2019, Spartak Moscow signed Jordan Larsson from IFK Norrköping for a transfer fee of €4 million. Larsson quickly demonstrated potential, scoring on his Russian Premier League debut against Krylya Sovetov Samara. In the 2020 season, he recorded 14 goals in 27 league appearances, contributing to Spartak's third-place finish. During his tenure from 2019 to 2022, Larsson made 83 appearances across all competitions for Spartak Moscow, scoring 27 goals and providing 9 assists. Despite this output, his form proved inconsistent, particularly in later seasons, with no goals or assists recorded in the 2021–22 campaign prior to his loan departure.

Larsson featured in 12 Bundesliga matches for Schalke during the first half of the 2022–23 campaign, accumulating 456 minutes without recording a goal or assist. His limited impact coincided with Schalke's broader struggles, as the team finished 18th and suffered relegation, conceding 63 goals while scoring only 29 across 34 matches.

At under-19 level, Larsson featured prominently in qualifiers during the 2015/16 campaign, logging 6 appearances across competitive fixtures. He also played in 2 international friendlies for the U19 team, contributing to his development as a forward. Transitioning to the under-21 squad from 2016 to 2018, he earned caps in qualifiers, including 2 matches in the 2015/16 edition and at least 1 friendly in 2017, helping build experience ahead of senior consideration. In July 2016, Larsson was initially selected for Sweden's Olympic football team for the Rio de Janeiro Games, an under-23 tournament with over-age allowances, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity as a rare chance to compete at the event.

Subsequent appearances included brief substitute roles in additional friendlies that year and in 2020, where he scored his first international goal in a 1–0 victory over on 9 January.

His selections underscore a pattern where high club productivity prompts inclusion, yet competition from established forwards has restricted opportunities in competitive fixtures.

Playing style and attributes

Technical skills and positioning

Jordan Larsson primarily operates as a left-footed forward, versatile in roles as a central striker or right winger, allowing him to exploit spaces through inward cuts and diagonal runs. His positioning emphasizes off-ball movement, frequently dropping deep to link play or drifting wide to stretch defenses, as observed in his tactical deployments across European leagues. Technically, Larsson excels in finishing with a career shooting accuracy of approximately 46%, converting shots at a rate of one goal every 6.5 attempts while averaging 2.71 shots per 90 minutes. He favors short passes and crossing, contributing indirectly from set-pieces, though he avoids aggressive tackling. This skill set has proven adaptable, with on-target percentages around 43% in recent seasons, supporting his transitions between high-pressing systems in and more structured setups in and . Larsson's left-footed preference enhances his threat from the right flank, where he cuts inside for curled shots or driven finishes, aligning with inside forward traits rated highly in models. At 175 cm, his compact frame aids quick directional changes and positioning in tight areas, though it limits aerial dominance.

Strengths and weaknesses

Larsson excels in crossing, with WhoScored rating it as a very strong attribute based on his delivery accuracy and frequency in from wide areas. He also demonstrates competence in key passes and set-piece taking, contributing to team build-up through precise deliveries that have led to assists in multiple seasons. In terms of finishing, his non-penalty goals per 90 minutes reached 0.37 in the 2025-2026 phase, outperforming his non-penalty (npxG) of 0.26 per 90, highlighting clinical conversion in limited high-level exposure. His work rate supports transitional play, evidenced by consistent minutes logged across leagues and a style that includes cutting inside from the right wing to link attacks, though empirical defensive metrics lag. Conversely, Larsson's aerial duel success is markedly weak, with platforms identifying it as a deficiency due to his 1.75m height and limited physical dominance in contested headers. Defensive contributions are minimal, ranking in the 4th for actions like tackles and interceptions per FotMob data, reflecting avoidance of high-risk pressing. Inconsistency in output persists across top-tier leagues, with non-penalty goals per 90 dropping below 0.20 in his 2021-2022 stint at Schalke 04 compared to higher rates (around 0.40) in Scandinavian competitions, suggesting adaptation challenges to defensive intensity. Injuries have occasionally disrupted continuity, including withdrawals from national team duties in October 2025 due to unspecified issues, though not chronic.
