Swedish football sees Isak Brusberg attracting bids from FC Köpenhamn and AZ Alkmaar, while Kazper Karlsson is poised to complete a permanent move to Degerfors from AIK in the 2025 winter transfer window.

    Key details

  • • Isak Brusberg has scored four goals and one assist in 20 Allsvenskan matches and attracted interest from FC Köpenhamn and AZ Alkmaar.
  • • Brusberg has scored in European competition and started several Conference League matches for BK Häcken.
  • • Degerfors is close to purchasing Kazper Karlsson from AIK after a successful loan spell.
  • • Karlsson struggled at AIK with limited appearances but played a key role at Degerfors in securing their league status.

As the 2025 winter transfer window heats up, two promising Swedish football talents are on the move. Isak Brusberg, the 19-year-old forward from BK Häcken, has attracted attention from European clubs FC Köpenhamn and AZ Alkmaar following an impressive season. Brusberg, who has scored four goals and provided one assist in 20 Allsvenskan matches, has also made an impact on the European stage by scoring in the Conference League against Rayo Vallecano. Despite this interest, BK Häcken's stance on a potential transfer remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, Degerfors is on the brink of finalizing the acquisition of 20-year-old midfielder Kazper Karlsson from AIK. After a loan period where Karlsson played a pivotal role in helping Degerfors secure their league status, the club is set to offer him a longer contract. Karlsson struggled for regular playtime at AIK, having made only eleven appearances there, but shined during his nine matches at Degerfors under coach Henok Goitom. The transfer is expected to be completed within the next week or two, pending final arrangements.

These moves reflect the dynamic nature of Swedish football transfers this winter as clubs aim to strengthen their squads for upcoming challenges. While Brusberg's future is still under negotiation, Karlsson's transfer appears close to completion, signaling significant shifts for both players’ careers.
