Hampus Näsström (born 18 December 1994) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a centre-back for IFK Värnamo in Allsvenskan.

Career

Näsström started his youth career in Smedby AIS and played senior football for them until 2014. Then followed three seasons in Lindö FF and IK Sleipner. He got 18 games in the Division 1 with Sleipner, and eventually three seasons in Division 1 with IF Sylvia. Eventually, a transfer to a larger club was discussed.

Ahead of the 2022 season Näsström trained with IFK Norrköping, but eventually transferred to Allsvenskan newcomers IFK Värnamo. His path to the highest tier in Sweden has been described as grinding and "gnawing", but also "romantic", showcasing that it is possible to make the leap even well into one's twenties.

He made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2022 against IFK Göteborg. His first Allsvenskan goal came in July 2023 against Degerfors. Following the end of his two-year contract, he extended it further.

Personal life

Näsström is nicknamed "Näsa".
