Topi Keskinen, a Finnish forward born on 7 March 2003, currently plies his trade for Aberdeen. Towering over most with his height of 5ft 10in (1.8m) and maintaining a weight of 11st 4lb (72kg), he is primarily assigned as a left-winger and dons the number 81 jersey for the Scottish Premiership team. Keskinen has also extended his football skills onto the international stage, representing Finland's national team before.
The Finnish forward's skilful performances and developing potential are not without recognition, particularly in monetary terms. According to Transfermarkt, Keskinen's current market value is around £1.4m, a notable figure for a utility player like him.
Initiating his career with Mikkelin Palloilijat in Finland's Kakkonen, Keskinen caught the eye of HJK scouts, leading to his transfer to the Finnish Veikkausliiga team in January 2023. Throughout his debut 2023 season there, Keskinen marked his presence in 25 first team matches, netting two goals in the process. Building upon his productive debut, the Finnish forward managed to secure another 17 first team appearances and a rewarding tally of seven goals during his 2024 season at HJK.
As Keskinen's star began to shine brighter, the draw of Scottish football became too great to resist and August 2024 saw him swapping the Finnish Veikkausliiga for the Scottish Premiership. Aberdeen successfully negotiated a transfer deal, securing his services for a fee of around £860k. Marking his debut 2024 - 2025 season at Aberdeen, Keskinen featured in 36 first team games and found the back of the net five times. His performances didn't wane in the current 2025 - 2026 seasons either, with the forward making another 26 appearances and netting three goals.
Beyond league play, Keskinen has been a regular participant for Aberdeen in various tournaments such as the 2025 - 2026 League Cup and the Scottish Cup. He also saw action in UEFA's U21 Qualifiers 2025 for Finland, scoring two goals from three starts. He participated in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 and the Conference League 2025 - 2026 for Aberdeen, making noteworthy contributions.
