The Norwegian joined Djurgården from Moss FK in the summer of 2025 and is under contract with the Swedish club until December 2029.

Despite initially struggling for regular playing time following his arrival, Hegland has established himself as an important figure in Djurgården’s midfield.

Hegland’s impressive season in Sweden

The 22-year-old has developed into one of the Allsvenskan’s most productive attacking players, contributing regularly in front of goal.

According to the league’s official statistics, Hegland has registered 10 goals and 16 assists in 25 appearances during the 2026 campaign.

His creativity, passing ability and eye for goal have been key features of his game, while his deliveries from set pieces provide another attacking threat.
