Carl Henrik Jordan Larsson (born 20 June 1997) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Russian club Spartak Moscow and the Sweden national team. Starting his career with Hogaborgs BK in Sweden in the early 2010s, Larsson represented Helsingborgs IF, NEC Nijmegen, and IFK Norrkoping before joining Spartak Moscow in 2019. He made his full international debut for the Sweden national team in 2018 and was a squad member at UEFA Euro 2020.

He is the son of former professional footballer and current manager Henrik Larsson.

Club Career

Early career

While his father played for FC Barcelona between 2004 and 2006, Larsson played for the team's La Masia academy. He began his senior career at Hogaborg in the Swedish Football Division 2, the fourth level of the sport in the country. On 19 June 2013, in a match against Tenhults IF, 15-year-old Larsson played alongside his 41-year-old father, who was making a comeback due to an injury crisis at Hogaborg.

Aged 16 in January 2014, Larsson was tracked by another of his father's former employers, Manchester United. Instead, he signed a four-year deal for the city's main club Helsingborgs IF, the same transfer that his father had made 22 years prior.

Helsingborgs IF

Larsson made his first team debut in the Allsvenskan on 27 July 2014, coming on as a substitute for Mattias Lindstrom in the 73rd minute of a 1–1 home draw against Orebro SK. On 26 August, he made his first start away to Division 2 team Torslanda IK in the second round of the Svenska Cupen, scoring in each half of a 4–1 away win. That November, his father took over as the team's manager, and assured the public that he would not practise nepotism. The following 4 March in the group stage of the competition, Larsson opened a 2–2 draw against Superettan team Syrianska FC with a goal that received attention abroad for the quality of its technique, reminiscent of his father.
