Club career

IFK Norrköping

Born in Norrköping, Fransson joined Norrköping as a 14-year-old from Lindö FF in 2008, and played in the club's academy until 2012. He made his Allsvenskan debut on the opening game of the 2013 season, in their away win against Mjällby AIF, the day before his 19th birthday.[1] He made in total 20 appearances in 2013, 18 in the league and two cup games.

His first Allsvenskan goal came also away at Mjällby, scoring the team's only goal in their 3–1 defeat on 14 August 2014. For Norrköping he played as a midfielder.[2]

In the last round of 2015 Allsvenskan, on 31 October 2015, Fransson won his first senior title as Norrköping won the Swedish championship for the first time in 26 years.[3] Eight days later, Fransson and IFK Norrköping took their second title for the season when they defeated 2014–15 Svenska Cupen winners IFK Göteborg in 2015 Svenska Supercupen.[4]

Basel

For the club this was the eighth title in a row and their 20th championship title in total.[9] They also won the Swiss Cup for the twelfth time, which meant they had won the double for the sixth time in the club's history.[10]

On 26 December 2017 Basel announced that Fransson would be loaned to Lausanne-Sport to gain more first-team opportunities.[11]
