Sergio Carlos Strandberg (born 14 April 1996) is a Swedish footballer who plays for CSKA Moscow as a striker.[1]

Career

Strandberg, who has Mozambican heritage,[2] grew up in Backa, Gothenburg where he joined the local lower league side Backa IF as a six-year-old.[3] In 2005 the club merged with Hisingstads IS to form Hisingsbacka FC[4] which is where Strandberg stayed and eventually got to make his first team debut in the seventh tier of Swedish football at age 15.[5]

In 2012 he signed a youth contract with Gothenburg based Allsvenskan club BK Häcken. There he became the top goalscorer of the U17 league and was moved up to the U19 team at the end of the year. In 2013 he continued scoring goals for the U19 and U21 teams which in the summer resulted in Häcken signing him to a 4.5 year first team contract.[6]

CSKA Moscow

In the summer of 2014, he was subject for a move to German side Borussia Dortmund, but a fee could not be agreed between the clubs, as the move failed to materialize. However, in the following transfer window, he joined Russian Premier League side CSKA Moscow on a 5 year contract, the 2nd of February 2015.

International career

In September 2013 Strandberg was selected to the Sweden national under-17 football team that would compete in the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[7]
