Gustaf Lagerbielke, a defender who hails from Sweden, was born on 10 April 2000. Despite his youth, he has earned an impressive reputation, standing at a formidable 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighing in at 12st 8lb (80kg). Lagerbielke primarily plays as a central defender for FC Twente, donning the number 3 jersey with pride. Additionally, he has also represented the Swedish national team.
Presently, Lagerbielke's market value hovers around the Β£1.5m mark, as suggested by Transfermarkt. His current contract with FC Twente teeters on the brink of completion, set to end come 30 June 2025.
Lagerbielke took his maiden bow in professional football with Sollentuna FK in Sweden's Division 2 in January 2019. Two seasons after, in January 2021, he made the move to Vasteras SK where he participated in Sweden's Superettan league. His reputation continued to flourish, resulting in an August 2021 transfer to IF Elfsborg, a more prestigious Allsvenskan outfit, for an undisclosed fee.
During his tenure at IF Elfsborg, Lagerbielke saw an increment in first-team action over three seasons. In the first season, he marked 2 first-team appearances, followed by 6 and 16 in the subsequent years, indicating his rapid rise. The latter season also witnessed Lagerbielke showcasing his goal-scoring prowess with two successful strikes.
In July 2022, Lagerbielke embarked on a temporary stint at Degerfors IF on a loan agreement. During this period, he put in 14 first-team appearances and scored thrice. But by January 2023, he returned to IF Elfsborg following the completion of his loan.
Scottish Premiership giants, Celtic, brought Lagerbielke into their fold in August 2023, as they spent a reported Β£3m on his services. The Swede featured seven times in the league in the 2023-2024 season.
Come August 2024, Celtic loaned Lagerbielke out to Eredivisie's FC Twente. Since then, he has put in 13 first-team appearances, and netted a solitary goal. In Twente's current campaign, Lagerbielke has taken part in the KNVB Beker event. His Europa League statistics are admirable as well, where he scored once in five starts and made three substitute appearances.
