Andersson started out as a youth player for his hometown club Hässleholms IF. In 2010, he joined Helsingborgs IF youth setup instead, although he still kept living in Hässleholm and commuted to Helsingborg.[1] At the start of the 2013 Allsvenskan season, Andersson was moved up to the first team. On 15 April 2013, he became the youngest player ever to play a league game for his club when he made his debut at home against Mjällby AIF.[2]
In September 2013, Andersson was selected for the Sweden national under-17 football team. The team competed in the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[3] where they went on to place third.
