Club career


Vetkal made his debut with Tallinna Kalev in Estonian top tier on 21 June 2019 against FC Flora, allegedly needing a special authorisation from the federation to play being only aged 15.[2]

He became the youngest scorer ever of the Estonian Premium Liiga, scoring his first goal at 15 years and 261 days against Viljandi JK Tulevik on 9 November 2019.[3] He was considered as one of the top prospects of his generation in Europe at his very early age.[4]

Following his debut season in Estonia, he visited several Italian club such as Genova, SPAL or Sassuolo.[5] In March 2020 he did a test for Schalke 04, along with his teammate Tristan Toomas Teeväli.[6][7]

He signed for A.S. Roma in August 2020.[8]


International career


Vetkal is a youth international with Estonia, and was set to play in the 2020 Euro U17 to be held in his country,[9] that was put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Preparing this competition the Estonians played against several other countries in friendlies or minor tournament, gaining wins against big European team such as France,[10] Sweden[11] or Spain.[12]
