Jesper Karlström joins Lech Poznan

On January 1st 2021, Jesper Karlström is going to officially reinforce the Lech Poznan squad. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder will be joining the Polish club from last season's Swedish champions, Djurgårdens IF, where he was the team captain. Karlström has signed a 3.5-year contract.

Jesper Karlström was born in Stockholm and he spent all his football career in the Swedish capital. His adventure with the sport started in the youth teams of Brommapojkarna. Karlström represented the club for years and debuted in the senior team at the age of 18. His consistently good performances in Allsvenskan got him a transfer to a bigger Swedish club – Djurgardens IF – 1.5 years later. Karlström appeared in 170 league matches for the club and even got to represent Djurgardens in European tournament qualifications three times.

“I can assure Lech’s fans that I am the kind of player that always fights until the very end and never gives up. I like to do that. I like to fight with my opponents but, at the same time, I know how to play with the ball at my feet and I am hoping to show Lech’s supporters what I am capable of soon,” explained the defensive midfielder.

The 25-year-old also has multiple caps on his account. He represented Swedish youth national teams regularly in the past and even got to play for the senior side once. Karlström’s senior debut took place on January 11th, 2018 against Denmark.

We are delighted to be a part of Jesper Karlström future career.
