He was born to parents Glenn Hysén of Liverpool F.C. fame and his second wife Helena. Alexander has two younger siblings named Anton and Annie as well as two older siblings from his fathers first marriage named Tobias and Charlotte.[2] He is the great-grandson of Erik Hysén.[3]
Like his brothers, Alexander started his youth career at Torslanda IK. He made his debut for Häcken in 2006 where he continued to play for the next three years.
