Linus Alperud (born 15 October 2005) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Lillestrøm SK.
Starting his youth career in Adolfsbergs IK,[1] he also played for Karlslunds IF FK before joining Örebro SK in 2021.[2] Ahead of the 2024 season he was drafted into the senior squad, but was mostly injured.[3] He made his senior debut in 2024, playing one single match before becoming a regular in the 2025 Superettan campaign.[1]
With his contract lasting until the end of 2026, there was tangible interest already in the summer of 2025, as Örebro languished in the table. All the six highest-placed clubs in the Allsvenskan were said to be interested: AIK, Elfsborg, IFK Göteborg, Hammarby, Malmö and Mjällby.[4] Örebro also rejected a number of transfer bids.[5] After Swedish media reported further interest from Rosenborg in Norway,[6] Alperud was bought by Lillestrøm SK of Norway in July 2025, in a transfer reportedly worth 5 million kr.[7][8] He scored his first goal against Raufoss in July, the decisive goal in a 2–1 victory.[9] In late 2025, he spent time on the sidelines again following another injury.[10]
