Expected to be at Euro 2000 to look and learn - his time will undoubtedly come. Already has two seasons in the Spanish Primera Liga behind him, where he has been a regular in the Santander defence since joining from AIK in October 98.

Made his international debut in March this year against Austria and also played in the second build-up friendly against Denmark.

A solid, dependable defender who will not let his side down if called upon and who should eventually prove a worthy successor to the likes of Joachim Bjorklund and Patrik Andersson.
