Club career

Early career

Cajuste was born in Sweden to a Haitian-American father and a Swedish mother. He moved to China with his family at age five, living one year in Luoyang before moving to Beijing.[3] There, he began football career with Chinese Sports Beijing. A few years later, the family returned to Sweden. As a ten-year-old, Cajuste started playing for Örgryte IS.[4] After impressing in the club's youth teams, he was rewarded with a senior contract in 2016.[5] On 17 October 2016, Cajuste made his senior debut for Örgryte in the Superettan in a 4–1 loss to IK Sirius.[6]

Midtjylland

In June 2018, Cajuste moved to Denmark’s Midtjylland, where he signed a five-year contract.[7] He made his debut for the club on 26 August 2018 in a match against Randers.[8] His first goal also came against Randers, which also proved to be the winner, in a 2–1 league victory on 21 October 2019.[9]

On 21 October 2020, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in a group stage home game against Atalanta, which Midtjylland lost 4–0.[10]

Reims

On 10 January 2022, Cajuste signed for French club Reims in a transfer deal worth a reported €10 million.[11] He became the club's record signing.[12] A few days later, Reims director-general Mathieu Lacour disputed the reported fee, stating that the price was around half of what Midtjylland had announced.[13][14]

Cajuste made his debut for Reims in the Ligue 1 match against FC Metz on 16 January 2022, starting in central midfield before being substituted off for Alexis Flips at half-time, as Reims lost 1–0.[15]

International career

On 4 November 2020, Cajuste was called up to the Sweden national team for their friendly game against Denmark and UEFA Nations League games against Croatia and France.[16] He made his international debut in a 2–0 loss against Denmark on 12 November 2020.[17]

Cajuste was called up for a major tournament for the first time when he was included in Sweden's 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020.[18]
