Anel Ahmedhodžić

Anel Ahmedhodžić of Feyenoord was born in Malmö, Sweden on 26 March 1999 (age 26).

Anel Ahmedhodžić, a stalwart of Bosnian and Swedish football, was born on the 26th of March 1999 which presently twice winds the clock of age to make thirteen pairs. A profound defender, who exhibits sheer dominance over his central defensive position, currently plies his trade for the Dutch Eredivisie club, Feyenoord. With an imposing stature of 6ft 2in (1.9m) and a robust weight of 12st 6lb (79kg), he comfortably fills the number 21 jersey. His international acumen is evident from his representation of the Bosnian national team.

Ahmedhodžić's current fiscal prowess in the football market stands approximated at £16m, as per the evaluation held by Transfermarkt.

Our protagonist's illustrious career started at Malmo FF in the Allsvenskan in Sweden, whence he migrated to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in England back in January 2016, for a fee kept under tight wraps. His debut season 2016 - 2017 at Nottingham Forest wasn't exactly prolific, limiting him to only one first-team appearance in league matches.

By January 2019, Ahmedhodžić sought a return to his roots, moving back from Nottingham Forest to Malmo FF, a transfer cloaked in fiscal ambiguity. His time at Malmo FF proved to be more fruitful, with a first team appearance in league matches in the 2019 season, 29 appearances and two goals in the 2020 season, and 25 appearances with one goal in the 2021 season.

A gusty spell followed in July 2019 when he was shipped on loan to Hobro IK in Denmark's 1. division. Despite the change of scenery, Ahmedhodžić remained steadfast and managed to make 19 first team appearances, scoring once in league matches during the 2019 - 2020 season.

Although our maverick footballer had tasted varied cuisines of football, he found himself gravitating back to Malmo FF following the cessation of his loan in January 2020. Once again, he proved his mettle with strong performances in the 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Not the one to shy away from a challenge, Ahmedhodžić packed his boots for Bordeaux in the Championnat National in France in January 2022, yet another loan spell. During the 2021 - 2022 season he made 15 first team appearances in league matches.

Upon the completion of his French expedition, Sheffield United in the English Championship saw the golden opportunity and shelled out a handsome sum of around £4m for his services in July 2022. Sheffield United's faith in him was not misguided as he was a constant figure in their team, making 34 appearances and scoring six goals in the 2022 - 2023 season, 31 appearances and two goals in the 2023 - 2024 season, and 38 appearances and three goals in the 2024 - 2025 season.

His exploits at Sheffield did not go unnoticed and Feyenoord snatched him up for about £16m in August 2025. As of the present season of 2025 - 2026, Ahmedhodžić has made three first team appearances in league matches.

The central defender's career at the international front too isn't devoid of glory. Ahmedhodžić participated in 2022 - 2024 Euro Qualifiers for Bosnia with four starts and starred in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 for Feyenoord with two starts.
