Erik Benjamin Nygren
Nygren attacks space from the right, screening the back line and running beyond the line. Erik Benjamin Nygren broke through at IFK Göteborg in 2018, scoring twice early. Nygren then moved to Genk for growth. He transferred to Celtic in 2025 on a five-year deal. At Celtic, Nygren led in goal involvement and linked play, often operating as a No.10 or inverted winger. Senior international debut for Sweden came in 2025, with early goals. Nygren pressures high and uses a drop of the shoulder to create space. He attacks the back post and finishes moves quickly.
