[Albion] Casper Nilsson

16 year old Malmö FF right back Casper Nilsson seems all but done to be joining Brighton on a 3 year contract. MFF DoF says its not 100% done yet, but I'm sure it will be.

Apparently trained with Brighton already back in 2018.

Exciting news? Perhaps not... but who knows, maybe in a few years this is considered a great day.

Translation please Simon!

Casper Nilsson, född 2003 och från Ystadstrakten, har de senaste åren gjort sig ett namn som ytterback i Malmö FF:s ungdomsled. Han tränade dock med Premier League-klubben Brighton redan under 2018, och nu är han på väg dit på ett treårsavtal enligt Fotboll Skånes uppgifter.

Daniel Andersson bekräftar till Fotboll Skåne att Brighton är intresserade, men eftersom Nilsson har ett avtal med MFF så måste Brighton köpa loss honom från MFF. En affär ska inte vara helt klar, enligt Andersson.

Skulle affären gå igenom så kan han spela både för Brightons P18 och P23. Han gjorde sin debut i MFF:s P19 tidigare i år, med att starta mot Landskrona i Ligacupen.

Det vore inte första gången som Brighton värvar unga svenskar. Peter Gwargis och Viktor Gyökeres har också skrivit på för klubben under de senaste åren.

He's a defender. He'll go to a fourth division team, then third division and finally join Leeds United in the Championship.

Then the melodrama of forgetfulness will start as he is touted as another bright star in the Champions of Europe's fold.

Well I mentioned the basic stuff in the first post but here' a summarised translation:

Born somewhere around Ystad and has been making a name for himself in Malmö FF's youth academy (its a pretty good one tbf).

Daniel Andersson (DoF) confirms Brighton are interested. Since he got a contract, Brighton needs to buy him. Deal "not completely done".

If the transfer happens he could play for the U18 as well as the U23. Made his Malmö FF U19 debut against Landskrona BoIS in the U19 League Cup earlier this year.

Wouldnt be the first young Swede to join Brighton as Gyökeres and Gwargis joined the club in recent years.

Family of Dennis .... so it’s a no from me.

But what if he's one of Harry's - how good would that be ?

 

[Frutos]

I've heard about this before, in fact everybody's talkin' about it.

 

[Swansman]

Could add that Malmö got a few decent former players out in Europe, including another Brighton target (Mattias Svanberg):

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan
Robin Olsen, AS Roma
Mattias Svanberg, Bologna
Pontus Jansson, Brentford
Filip Helander, Rangers
Jimmy Durmaz, Galatasaray

Hope this guy turns into a decent baller as well.

Sorry, but second is exactly the same as LAST

I used lockdown to ensure my wife and daughter watched that movie. They weren't impressed.

And, if I'm not mistaken, here is the lad wearing an Albion shirt (no. 2, not no. 10):-

 

[AZ Gull]

If he does join Albion, it will be as a 1st-year scholar.

Error. Does not compute.

 

[Gabbiano]

And a few more Irish lads too it looks like.

As well as striker Evan Ferguson who has been reported to be joining us this summer.

Just as a matter of interest, how do we find out about a 16-year old at Malmo? Do we have scouts in every European country? Do we monitor press reports of every youth game played in the world? Does someone from Malmo recommend him to teams across Europe? It does intrigue me how clubs pick up kids so young.

As it stands, we will have nine 1st-year scholars (not including Casper).

Evan Ferguson will still be an U-16 schoolboy in 2020-21 so wouldn't start his scholarship until the following season.

Thank goodness that one of them is a centre back. You can never have enough centre backs.

Without knowing Brightons specific method it's usually done like this:

Phase 1:

Watching relevant (i.e. from cheap markets) youth national teams and tournaments & data gathered from these

Watching international/continental youth team tournaments & data

Using scouting tools (like WyScout) that provide data over basically ever player

Phase 2:

Assigning the regional scout (I'd imagine Brighton got a scout mainly covering Scandinavia as its a cheap market with well-educated players that already know English etc) to watch a couple of games where they track a specific player found during "phase 1".

Tony Bloom’s dog ‘Trevor Who’s A Good Boy’ runs 10 Football Manager 19/20 simulations simultaneously at the training ground and reports back accordingly. It really is finger on the pulse, high level research.
