About Mikael Forssell

  • Mikael Kaj Forssell (born 15 March 1981) is a Finnish former football striker.Forssell began his professional career in 1997 for HJK, having progressed through the team's youth teams, but he only remained at the club for a single season, making 17 league appearances, before he moved to England to join Chelsea in 1998.
  • He never broke into the Chelsea team (making 33 league appearances in seven years), and spent two loan spells at Crystal Palace, one at Borussia Mönchengladbach, and two at Birmingham City.
  • He switched permanently to the latter club in 2005, but injury problems restricted him to 65 league appearances in three seasons.
  • He joined German side Hannover 96 in July 2008 on a free transfer, but once again struggled with form and injury problems, and he left the club in 2011, having made 44 league appearances.
  • This was followed by an unsuccessful season back in England, this time with Leeds United; 15 league games failed to yield a single goal.
  • Forssell returned to current club HJK in October 2012. Forssell made his full international debut for Finland in 1999, and has been a regular player for his country in almost every year since; the one exception being 2012, where he didn't make a single appearance.
  • He earned 87 caps for his country, and scored 29 goals; making him the sixth most capped Finnish player, and his country's second highest goalscorer.
