Adrian Edqvist (born 20 May 1999) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a forward for Gefle IF.

Youth career

Edqvist was born in Karlskrona and started his career in Nättraby GoIF.[1] At the age of seven, the family moved from Blekinge to the Spanish south coast and Edqvist then started playing at AD Las Lagunas, outside Málaga.[2] During the years in Spain he entered Andalusia's national team and was close to a move to the La Liga club Málaga CF shortly before the family returned to Sweden. After returning to Sweden, he joined Karlskrona AIF[3] and in 2015 he joined Malmö FF, who won the battle for his signature over Kalmar FF and the Danish club Brøndby IF.[2] In December 2015, he also went on a trial at Stoke City.[4]

Career

In 2017, Edqvist joined Kalmar FF from Malmö FF where he played at his youth years. He was promoted to the first team squad of Kalmar FF in September 2017.[5] On 11 March 2019, Kalmar FF signed a cooperation agreement Oskarshamns AIK and Edqvist alongside his teammate Alexander Ahl Holmström was loaned out to the club on the same day until 30 November 2019. The deal also made it possible to play in both Kalmar's A team and U21 teams while playing for Oskarshamns AIK.[6]

On 12 July 2019, Edqvist was loaned out to Dutch Eerste Divisie club Go Ahead Eagles until June 2020.[7]

On 12 February 2021, he signed a three-year contract with Jönköping.[8] In December 2022, Edqvist joined Gefle IF.[9]
