Eero Pekka Sakari Markkanen (born 3 July 1991) is a Finnish footballer who plays as a striker for AIK Fotboll and for the Finland national football team. He is the son of former basketball player Pekka Markkanen.[2]
Club career
On 23 July 2014, Real Madrid signed Markkanen from AIK on a four-year contract.[3]
Markkanen made his debut for Real Madrid Castilla on 24 August 2014, playing the full 90 minutes as they lost 2–1 at Atlético Madrid B in Segunda División B Group 2.[4] Six days later he scored his first goal for the club, in a 1–2 home loss to Getafe CF B. However, he missed most of the 2014-2015 season due to an injury.
In September 2014, he was chosen for Real Madrid's 25-man squad for the UEFA Champions League, but did not make any appearances.[5]
On 21 August 2015, Real Madrid Castilla released Markkanen. There were rumours of him reporting back to preseason training overweight, but the club never released an official statement about the issue.[6]
On 3 September 2015, Markkanen was acquired by the finnish side RoPS for the remainder of the season.[7]
International career
Markkanen made his full international debut on 29 May 2014, replacing Roman Eremenko at half time in a 1–0 defeat to Lithuania in Ventspils in the Baltic Cup.[8]
On 7 September 2014, he made his first competitive international appearance, replacing Jere Uronen for the last 15 minutes of a 3–1 win over the Faroe Islands in Tórshavn for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying.[9]
