Swedish Football Transfers: Alexander Fesshaie to Helsingborg, Max Larsson Set for Djurgården Trial

In January 2026, Swedish football sees notable player transfers shaping up, with Alexander Fesshaie departing AIK for Helsingborgs IF and Max Larsson heading from Västerås to Djurgården.

Alexander Fesshaie is on the brink of completing a move from AIK to Helsingborgs IF, as confirmed by Expressen. An agreement between the two clubs has been reached, and Fesshaie is expected to undergo a medical examination this weekend in Helsingborg. If he passes, he will sign a contract with HIF. Fesshaie's stint at AIK has been challenging due to injuries, limiting him to just eleven appearances last season, and although both IK Sirius and Helsingborg showed interest, he has chosen to join Helsingborg. Previously, Fesshaie was excluded from AIK's recent training camp in Benidorm, highlighting his uncertain position within the team.

Meanwhile, Max Larsson, 22, is set to transfer from Västerås to Djurgården. Contrary to rumors linking him with Hammarby—due in part to his former coach Kalle Karlsson's current role there—Larsson will join Djurgården. He is scheduled to undergo a medical examination on the Canary Islands during Djurgården's training camp. Larsson boasts significant experience, having made 115 competitive appearances for Västerås, scoring nine goals and assisting seven. His recent form includes 26 matches in both Allsvenskan (2024) and Superettan (2025).

These transfers highlight ongoing efforts by Swedish clubs to strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming season, with both players seeking fresh starts to revitalize their careers.

Both transfers are contingent upon successful medical clearances, with further announcements expected soon.
