Gustaf Nilsson, born on 23 May 1997 (age 29), is a Swedish striker with Club Brugge. At 6ft 6in (1.97m), he is an imposing centre-forward, and his profile is fairly straightforward: height, penalty-box presence and a career built across European club football rather than noise.
His most productive league season came in 2021-22 with Wehen Wiesbaden, where he scored 14 goals in 30 appearances. That remains the clearest scoring marker in his senior career, and the spell that best shows what he can offer when given a steady run.
Nilsson now wears number 19 for Club Brugge. In 2026-27 he has made 10 appearances across all competitions, including one in the Champions League, and has also represented Sweden with one World Cup appearance this season. His current market value is around £6m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career to date is that of an established Swedish centre-forward who has produced his best league return in Germany and is now part of a Club Brugge squad competing domestically and in Europe.
