Teenage forward Kevin Filling is being linked with a move from AIK to Austrian Bundesliga side Sturm Graz, with the highly rated prospect reportedly attracting interest despite uncertainty over how likely a deal is to materialise.
Transfermarkt lists the 17-year-old centre-forward as a rumoured target for Sturm, though the probability of the move is currently marked only as “?”. With no contract end date publicly recorded for the AIK striker, speculation also extends to whether he could, in time, become available as a free agent if fresh terms are not agreed in Solna.
Filling, born on 30 November 2008 in Västerås and standing at 1.85m, is regarded as one of AIK’s most promising attacking talents. A right-footed centre-forward, he has risen rapidly through the club’s youth structure, moving from AIK Youth to AIK U17 at the start of 2024, then stepping up to AIK U19 in early 2025 before being promoted into the senior AIK squad. His official market value is currently listed at €1.80m, a figure that frames the scale of investment Sturm Graz would be contemplating should they attempt to turn interest into a formal offer.
The Swede, who holds dual nationality with Senegal, also had a brief loan spell at Enköpings SK in 2025, returning to AIK’s youth ranks later the same year. That experience in Sweden’s system, from Västerås SK’s youth setup to Allsvenskan side AIK, has underpinned his reputation as a physically capable attacker with room to develop at a higher level.
While there are no confirmed details of negotiations between the clubs, the rumour underlines how quickly Filling’s profile has grown. A move to Sturm Graz, should it progress beyond initial interest, would represent a significant early step abroad and could prove pivotal in shaping his career trajectory and international prospects for both Sweden and Senegal.
