Edwin Andersson (born 7 November 2003) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Stoke City.
Born in Lerum, Västergötland,[1] Edwin Andersson started playing football in his hometown club as a six year old, before joining the IFK Göteborg Academy four years later.[2] [3]
Soon proving to be one of the academy and Swedish football's brightest prospects, along the likes of Jesper Tolinsson,[4] Andersson was linked to several big European clubs, making a trial at Manchester United in 2018, but eventually signing for the Chelsea Academy, that he effectively joined soon after he turned 16.[5] [6]
First playing with Chelsea's under-18, he began regularly scoring goals and delivering assist for his team in the FA Youth Cup[7] and the U18 Premier League,[8] [9] [10] whilst also playing the UEFA Youth League during the 2021–22 season, most notably delivering a total of three assists in the two games against the Swedish champions of Malmö.[11] [12] In October 2021, he also made his EFL Trophy debut against Cheltenham.[13] On 12 August 2022, Andersson announced his departure from Chelsea.[14]
Andersson joined Stoke City on 15 August 2022 linking up with their under-21 team.[15]
Edwin Andersson has been part of every Swedish youth team, having played 12 games with the under-17, scoring three goals during the three Euro qualifying games in 2019, before the event was canceled due to Covid-19.
Edwin Andersson mainly plays as a left winger. A technically gifted left-footed player, he has been compared to the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi, naming Cristiano Ronaldo as his biggest inspiration.
