Alfe Inge Sebastian "Bissen" Larsson (born 6 June 1985 in Eskilstuna, Sweden) is a Swedish football player who currently plays for Birmingham City .He normally plays as a central midfielder or wide midfield, but has sometimes been used as emergency cover at fullback.
Initially a player at his home team, IFK Eskilstuna, he joined Arsenal at the age of 16 courtesy of an Arsenal scout who watched him play a game for his country. Having been on the substitutes bench for a match against Panathinaikos, he made his debut against Manchester City on October 27, 2004, where he played out of position at left back.
Larsson joined Birmingham City on a season-long loan from Arsenal in August 2006,[1] with an option to make the move permanent. At Birmingham, he made an immediate impact, scoring late winners in his first few games against Crystal Palace and Shrewsbury Town. He also scored two goals against Newcastle United in the FA Cup. While at Birmingham City, Larsson has been playing on the right-wing while occasionally filling in at right-back and left-back when players have been injured.
Larsson signed for Birmingham City from Arsenal on a 4-year deal for £1 million on January 31, 2007.[2]
In February 2007 rumours stated that Sebastian may soon feature in the Swedish national team.
