FC Midtjylland have signed Swedish youth prospect Emil Che. The 15-year-old winger joins from BK Olympic and will become part of the club's academy from the summer of 2027 when he turns 16.
The teenager was first contacted by FC Midtjylland in February during a U17 tournament in Brazil. His contract with the young Swede is set to run until 2027. He is described as a fast and creative winger who excels in one-on-one situations.
"The facilities here are fantastic, and it feels like a club that can take me to the next level, so I'm incredibly excited," said Emil Che.
Academy chief Jacob Hoffenzits Nielsen praised the player's potential. "We believe he can develop a lot when he becomes part of our environment." Nielsen said.
Che's objective is clear: to play his way into FC Midtjylland's first team and later be sold to a major foreign club. The deal shows the club's focus on developing young talent, a strategy running parallel to a strong senior side. FC Midtjylland currently sit top of the Superliga with 31 points from 13 games, leading by two points over FC Copenhagen. Their last five league matches have yielded four wins and just one defeat.
The talent acquisition comes as the first team recently lost 1-6 to Ajax in a friendly but maintains strong domestic form. The team has scored 27 goals this season, averaging 2.08 goals per game. The next fixture is a home match against 12th-placed Sønderjyske this evening. Fans can view the full fixtures schedule on our site. Che is expected to undergo an extensive development process in the academy before competing for a first-team spot. His official arrival is scheduled for July 2027.
