Amanda Nildén (born 7 August 1998) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Women's Super League club Tottenham Hotspur, on loan from Juventus, and the Sweden national team.

Club career

A versatile left-sided defender or midfielder, she previously played in Sweden for IF Brommapojkarna, AIK and Eskilstuna United. [1] She has represented Sweden up to first team level.

Nildén missed the entire 2015 season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. She signed for AIK in February 2017, emulating her father David and grandfather Jim who both played for the Stockholm club. [2]

On 2 August 2021, Nildén joined Juventus. [3] On 18 August, she made her debut in a 12–0 win against Macedonian side Kamenica Sasa in the semi-finals of the first round of the UEFA Women's Champions League. [4]

Nildén joined Tottenham Hotspur on 18 January 2024 on loan until June 2024. [5]

Personal life

In 2018 Nildén was in a relationship with Viktor Gyökeres, who is a professional footballer. When Gyökeres transferred from Sweden to Brighton & Hove Albion, Nildén tried out for the club's professional women's team and impressed enough to be given a contract. [6] As of January 2024 it can be assumed that the relationship had come to an end, as Gyökeres revealed that he was maintaining a relationship with Portuguese actress Inês Aguiar. [7] [8] [9]
