Hugo Emanuel Larsson (born 27 June 2004) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt and the Sweden national team.
Malmö FF
Born 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
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 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.
