Jesper Karlsson is a Swedish left winger, born on 25 July 1998 (age 27), whose reputation was made most clearly at AZ. His best league season came in 2021-22, when he scored 15 goals in 34 appearances, the sort of return that tends to move a wide player out of the “promising” bracket and into more serious attention.
He is now with Bologna, operating primarily from the left. His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Karlsson’s career to this point is straightforward enough: a Swedish winger who built his standing at AZ, produced one notably strong scoring season, and moved on to Serie A with Bologna. There is no need to dress it up beyond that.
