Jordan Larsson, son of the legendary Swedish Celtic and Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson, has been standing out for two seasons at Spartak Moscow. Last season he scored 15 goals and gave 5 assists in 30 games, helping the capital to finish in second place. This year his numbers have dropped, since he only has one goal, but his versatility makes him a very attractive player: He can play as a striker, as a winger and even as a midfielder.
The Swede, who has already thrashed with his country’s senior team, ends his contract in 2023. According to Sportbladet, It does not plan to extend its relationship, so the Russian club plans to sell it in January, during the winter break of the Russian league. His performance already enthuses several European teams, among which stand out the Borussia Dortmund, Milan y el West Ham.
However, according to the portal Aftonblade’t, Celtic would be the club that would have been most interested in the forward. The Scottish team wants to welcome the son of one of its most ‘legendary’ players, and would already know the cost of the operation. Spartak demands 13 million euros, although in Russia they are not happy with it and could lower it. A few weeks ago, after the humiliating 7-1 loss to Zenit, the former president of the Russian Football Federation, Vyacheslav Koloskov, said that Larsson is currently “a player of the level of the second division“.
