Emerging from Finland, Topi Keskinen began garnering international attention as a dynamic forward and an adept left winger for the Scottish Premiership's Aberdeen FC. Born on 7th March 2003, Keskinen, at 22-years-old, stands at 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and weighs in at 11st 4lb (72kg). Known to Aberdeen fans by the number 81 jersey, Keskinen's contributions on the field have been noted at both the club and international level, having represented his native Finland in the national team.
As of the current market stance, Keskinen's value is estimated around £1.7m according to Transfermarkt. A promising prospect for Aberdeen, fans will rejoice in the knowledge that his contract is set to extend until 30th June, 2028, with a comfortable 3 years and 2 months still to run.
Keskinen's professional journey kicked off in January 2023 when he was transferred from Mikkelin Palloilijat, a club in Finland's Kakkonen division, to HJK in the Veikkausliiga, marking his first move within the Finnish leagues. During his debut season, Keskinen made 25 first team appearances and managed to find the back of the net twice in league matches. The 2024 season saw him featured 17 times in the first team where he impressively scored seven goals.
His performance did not go unnoticed on the international stage as, in August 2024, Keskinen was transferred from HJK to Aberdeen for a handsome sum of around £860k. Now in his second season (2024 - 2025) with Aberdeen, he has proven his worth by making 36 first team appearances and scoring five goals in league matches.
The 2024 - 2025 season has further showcased Keskinen's abilities, having represented Aberdeen in the League Cup where he scored a goal in one start and two substitute appearances, and in the Scottish Cup with four starts. His contributions have not been limited to club level, as his performance in the UEFA U21 Championship Qualifiers for Finland saw him netting two goals in a mere three starts.
