JORDAN LARSSON has been tipped to make a stunning return to the Sweden squad after his recent form in front of goal leaves Copenhagen on the brink of league glory.
But even if the Celtic legend's son isn't selected by Jon Dahl Tomasson for the upcoming international fixtures, Larsson will still feature on the TV screens back in his homeland this summer.

That's because Larsson, 27, has been selected to appear in a reality show called Married to Football with his wife Bianca which is produced by Swedish broadcasters SVT and airs in July.
The six-part series follows the lives of some of Sweden's best footballers, including Larsson, and examines what the hectic football lifestyle is really like for young couples and families.
The show promises to go behind-the-scenes and provide "unique and personal" insights into the challenges they face on a daily basis, as well as the glitz and glamour of celebrity life.
Carolina Neurath, who is married to former Swedish international Pierre Bengtsson, will present the programme.
Other players participating in the show include Ken Sema, Patrik Crlgren, Rickard Magyar, Erik Berg, Isak Hien and Marcus Danielson.
The first episode will premiere on SVT on July 21 but it's unclear when Larsson and his wife will feature.
The Copenhagen forward will no doubt have plenty to say having been surrounded by the sport his whole life.
Larsson grew up watching his legendary father at Celtic and was eight-years-old when Henrik was the hero for Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final against Arsenal.
The Hoops great came off the bench to provide two assists late on in the Stade de France to seal a 2-1 win and deny Arsenal their first Champions League trophy.
And Larsson Jnr could be the man to lead his own team to silverware this season, with Copenhagen just one game away from lifting the Danish top flight title.

The 27-year-old was a bit part player for most of the campaign but he couldn't have picked a much better time to find his shooting boots.
The forward has followed in his father's footsteps by turning up when it really matters, having scored five goals in the last five games in the play-off stage.
Copenhagen are now four points clear going into the final game of the season but closest challengers FC Midtjylland do have a game in hand.
Should the second-placed outfit lose to Brondby tonight then Copenhagen will be champions.
Larsson could then make it a double on May 29 as Copenhagen face Silkeborg in the Danish Cup final.

Matt O'Riley transfer uncertainty as Everton 'keen' on ex-Celtic star
It's claimed the Premier League club would be interested in signing the Brighton midfielder just one year on from his move from Celtic. O'Riley endured a staggered season for Brighton with injuries impacting his availability and limited minutes when fit under Fabian Hurzeler. Sky Sports now reports Everton would be interested in a deal for O'Riley should Brighton sanction a transfer exit this summer. According to the outlet, it is unclear whether Brighton would allow a deal and be willing to sell the midfielder. It's thought O'Riley is viewed as a player prepared to make a telling contribution at the club next season. O'Riley notched two goals and three assists in his debut season in the Premier League. He also started six of the last eight games for the club last season. Read more: It comes after reports O'Riley is a transfer target for clubs in Italy, Germany and sides in the Premier League. Fabrizio Romano posted last month: "Matt O'Riley could be one to watch in the summer as Brighton midfielder is now attracting interest from Serie A, Bundesliga, Premier League clubs. "Approaches started eyeing an opportunity on the market to try sign the talented central midfielder." A potential O'Riley transfer this summer could have consequences for Celtic. Indeed, the Parkhead club were said to have been given a 10 per cent sell-on fee when they sold the 24-year-old last year.

Chelsea in talks over £50m deal for England wonderkid they had in their academy
Chelsea are looking to wrap up a deal for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, who was once in their academy, with a £50million deal possible before the Club World Cup Chelsea are in talks to land Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens for £50million - despite previously having him in their academy and allowing him to leave. Back in January, the Blues expressed an interest in the Englishman and now they want to conclude a deal before both clubs go to the Club World Cup. Gittens has earned England U21 recognition and was on the books with Chelsea as a child. He is understood to have a release clause in the region of £50m, reports the Telegraph, and has shone with Dortmund since joining the club in 2020 to play with one of their development teams, before rising through the ranks to become a first-team regular. This year, despite a mid-season managerial change due to a dip in form, Gittens played 48 times and scored on 12 occasions as the club made it into the top four. One of his strikes coming in the Champions League against Real Madrid. Former Dortmund striker Karl Heinz-Riedle told The Sun earlier this season that Gittens has the potential to emulate the likes of Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham. He said: 'Jamie is still not 100 per cent what we expect from a world-class player - but he has all the talent to become one of those. He can become the next Sancho, Erling Haaland or Bellingham.' The German side have shown themselves willing to sell their top stars for the right fee, often making huge profits as a result. They sold the likes of Bellingham, Erling Haaland and Sancho for huge sums. The latter moved to Manchester United but has just spent the season on loan with Chelsea, where he's been inconsistent and now faces an uncertain future. Chelsea have a contractual obligation to buy him for between £20m - £25m due to their finish in the Premier League. If they want to back out, they must pay a £5m exit penalty fee. Chelsea's qualification for the Champions League on the final day of the season will aid their recruitment this summer. They are poised to win the race for Liam Delap, who is set to join from Ipswich Town in a £30m deal to bolster their attack. The Blues have continued to invest and have a bloated squad, which means they will need to sell numerous players this summer. Despite that, they've begun with their recruitment and have wasted no time in the early days of the summer transfer window.

Chelsea open talks with Borussia Dortmund's £50m Arsenal and Liverpool target
Chelsea have opened talks with Borussia Dortmund over a move for Jamie Gittens, the winger who has also attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool. The 20-year-old was born in Reading and spent time in the youth set-ups at Chelsea and Manchester City before moving to Dortmund in 2020. He made his senior debut for the German club in 2022 and has already racked up over 100 appearances in all competitions. Gittens enjoyed his most prolific season to date in the campaign just gone, scoring 12 goals in 48 appearances. However, he did fall out of favour in the second half of the campaign, starting just three Bundesliga games since the middle of February.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. A string of Premier League clubs have been linked with trying to tempt him back to England and Chelsea have made their move. The Telegraph report that negotiations are underway and the Blues are keen to get a deal done quickly, before the Club World Cup begins. The revamped competition gets underway on June 14 in America, with both Chelsea and Dortmund involved in the tournament. Gittens is reportedly available relatively cheaply in the current market as he has a release clause worth 'around £50m' in his Dortmund contract. The Blues are looking to move fast and beat the competition to the England Under-21 international, although Arsenal or Liverpool could still make a move. Liverpool are working on a deal for Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, but may well move for a winger after Luis Diaz's girlfriend suggested the Colombian is to leave this summer. Arsenal's priority this summer is a new striker, but are also looking to strengthen on the wing and have been linked with Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane, among other targets. Chelsea look set for yet another busy transfer window, with Liam Delap set to join in a £30m move from Ipswich Town. More Trending The Blues have beaten Manchester United and other rivals to the England Under-21 forward who impressed despite the Tractor Boys being relegated to the Championship. The future of Jadon Sancho at Stamford Bridge remains unclear, with the England international not particularly impressing during his loan spell from Manchester United last season. Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho for a fee between £20m and £25m, or they will have to pay the Red Devils a £5m penalty if he returns to Old Trafford. If Gittens is to arrive then Sancho would appear unlikely to stay with competition in wide areas extremely fierce.
