Rasmus Erik Wikström (born 18 March 2001) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Allsvenskan club Mjällby AIF. [1]
Wikström started playing football for Partille IF, before joining the IFK Göteborg academy at age 13. [2] Both his uncle Peter "Erra" Eriksson and his grandfather Per-Erik "Perra" Eriksson have previously played for the club. [3]
Wikström made his senior debut for IFK Göteborg on 11 June 2018 in an 8–1 win over a selected team from Dalarna in a friendly match at Åvallen in Nyhammar. [4] In December 2018, Wikström signed a three-year professional contract which saw him permanently promoted to the first team. [5] He scored on his competitive debut on 17 February 2019, helping Blåvitt to a 2–0 win in Svenska Cupen against Nyköpings BIS. [6]
He made his Allsvenskan debut several months later, on 13 July 2019, in a 1–1 draw against Falkenbergs FF, where he came on as a substitute in injury time for Victor Wernersson. [7] In a match against Falkenbergs FF on 12 August 2019, Wikström made his debut from the start, but was forced off after only 4 minutes with a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury. [8] [9]
In March 2021, Wikström signed a one-season loan deal with AFC Eskilstuna competing in Superettan. [10] He made his debut as a starter for the club on 12 April in a 0–0 draw against Västerås SK. [11] He finished his tenure with the club with 11 appearances. [1]
On 29 July 2021, Wikström signed a four-year contract with defending Danish Superliga champions Brøndby, [12] [13] for an undisclosed fee. [14] In September 2021, he suffered a shoulder injury, sidelining him for the rest of the year. [15]
On 16 June 2022, it was confirmed that Wikström would spend the upcoming 2022–23 season on loan at newly relegated Danish 1st Division club SønderjyskE, to gain experience. [16] He made 33 appearances for the club, scoring three goals. [1] He returned to Brøndby at the end of his loan spell. [17] However, he was deemed a surplus in the club's defence after pre-season. [18]
On 21 August 2023, Allsvenskan club Mjällby AIF announced they had reached a deal to sign Wikström on a contract until 2026. [19] He made his debut for the club on 27 August, replacing Noah Eile in the 70th minute of a 3–0 home loss to Hammarby. [20] On 18 September, he made his first start for Mjällby in a 2–0 away victory against IFK Norrköping. [21]
