Club career

Brann

Hansson, son of a Norwegian mother,

footballer Patrik Hansson, began playing football in his hometown Bergen for Brann before moving to the youth academy of Swedish Allsvenskan club Kalmar FF
prior the 2013 season, where his father worked as assistant coach. After six months, he returned to Brann.

There, he was promoted to the first team for the 2015 season, where he made his first two senior appearances in April 2015, one in the cup and one in the league. In total he got two league appearances and four in the 2015 Norwegian Football Cup.[4]

Feyenoord

Hansson joined the youth academy of Dutch Eredivisie club Feyenoord in August 2015.[5] He initially played for the U21 team but made his debut in the Eredivisie on 12 March 2017 in a 5–2 home win over AZ, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Steven Berghuis.[6] For the first team he made a total of two appearances during the 2016–17 season, while continuing as a part of the U21 side and reserves; the first team won the Dutch championship at the end of the season, after an 18-year title drought.[7] The following season, Hansson made 11 appearances for the reserves and two total appearances for the first team, in the KNVB Beker and in the league, respectively.[2] Feyenoord finished third in the Eredivisie that season and won the cup; the 100th edition of the tournament.[8]

In July 2018, Hansson moved to the second-tier Eerste Divisie on loan to RKC Waalwijk.[9] With twelve goals from Hansson in 35 league appearances, the club reached ninth place in the league table and qualified for the first round of the promotion and relegation play-offs. By scoring one goal in six appearances, Hansson contributed to helping RKC achieve promotion to the Eredivisie.[2][10] He returned to Feyenoord after his loan deal expired.

Hannover 96

In August 2019, Hansson moved to German 2. Bundesliga club Hannover 96 on a three-year contract.[11][12] The Swede made 14 2. Bundesliga appearances as well as one in the Regionalliga Nord for the reserve team before being loaned out to RKC Waalwijk once again for the second half of the season.[13] Hansson made seven league appearances for RKC, in which he scored one goal, before the season was cancelled after the 26th match-day due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this point, RKC was bottom of the table, but was able to remain in the Eredivisie due to a suspension of relegations.[14]

Fortuna Sittard

At the beginning of June 2020, Hannover 96 announced that Hansson would not return to the team, but would move on a permanent deal to Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard for the 2020–21 season.[15]

Heracles Almelo

On 29 January 2022, Hansson returned to the Dutch Eredivisie, where he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Heracles Almelo, with an option for an additional year.[16] He made his debut for the club on 11 February, replacing Bilal Başacıkoğlu in the 88th minute of a 1–0 win over Utrecht.[17][18] On the last matchday of the season, Heracles dropped to 16th in the league table following a 3–1 defeat to Sparta Rotterdam, meaning promotion and relegation play-offs.[19] In the semi-final, the club faced Excelsior and suffered losses in both the first leg (0–3)[20] and the second leg (1–3), leading to their relegation to the Eerste Divisie.[21]

During their single season in the Eerste Divisie, Hansson evolved into a crucial player for Heracles, netting 16 goals and providing 19 assists in 36 league starts as they clinched the second-tier title and secured promotion back to the Eredivisie on the final matchday.[22][23] His 19 assists from 1 March 2022, to 1 March 2023, were particularly noteworthy, surpassing the figures of prominent players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Lionel Messi, and Ousmane Dembélé, among others.[24]

International career

Hansson gained four

Sweden national under-17 team,[25] but later decided to play for Norway. As a result, he appeared in 10 matches each for Norway U16s and U17s, nine for the U18s and three for the U19s.[4]

In December 2018, Hansson finally decided on representing

Sweden national under-21 team
.
