Career

Björklund started his career at Ystads IF,^[3] and later in his youth moved to Malmö FF.^[4] After two years in Malmö, Björklund moved to Italian giants AC Milan.^[5] Björklund never had a big breakthrough in Italy - at least not in the club's first team - and in his two years in Italy, he played for the club's under-18 and under-19 teams.

On 1 September 2022, Danish 1st Division club Sønderjyske confirmed that Björklund joined the club on a deal until June 2025.^[6] 18-year-old Björklund had a fine first season at the club, making 24 appearances, scoring three goals and two assists.

However, in May 2023, he suffered a knee injury in training and later underwent surgery that left the Swede out for almost a year.^[7][8] Despite the injury, Björklund extended his contract in December 2023 until June 2026.^[9] Björklund was not back on track until April 2024.^[10]
