17-year-old talent can get Allsvenskan debut for AIK - in the squad http://www.fotbolldirekt.se/2016/10/31/17-arig-talang-kan-fa-allsvensk-debut-i-aik-med-i-truppen/ Snip: A young talent can get the chance to make debut in the Premier Division AIK- 17-year-old Perry Nebiyou included in a provisional squad against Jönköping Södra tonight. AIK has announced a 20 man squad on itshome page for tonight's away game against J-Southern. Some younger talents are in the squad - Nebiyou Perry (born 1999) and Rickson Mansiamina (born 1997) has not yet debuted in the headlines, but they are in the preliminary squad. Perry hasn't gotten his full debut yet for AIK, but yesterday made their first-team provisional squad. He has also played in UEFA Youth League games for AIK U-19, and has played for AIK U-21. Internationally, he has gone back to playing for Sweden. Here he is in August with the U-18's (on the right): And in October (#9): http://www.ubro.se/fotboll/vinst-for-sverige-i-u17-landskampen-mot-england He still has US Soccer as his Twitter cover photo.
Has been with Sweden U-17 in May, US U-18 in August, Sweden U-18 in October, and again US U-18 in November! Great week in Florida🌞🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/lrJmJpQfXp— Nebiyou Perry (@NebiyouPerry) November 15, 2016
By a jury of Swedish football bigwigs, Nebiyou was chosen as the seventh-best midfield prospect under age 18 in the Swedish national team program. http://www.fotbolldirekt.se/2017/01/22/listan-har-ar-sveriges-storsta-mittfaltstalanger/
He's made the first-team bench for AIK twice this early Allsvenskan season. Sweden did well for themselves to get him provisionally cap-tied.
Made his AIK debut: Video (in Swedish): http://www.aikfotboll.se/play/debut-for-perry He played the 2nd half in a 5-0 Europa League win: http://www.espnfc.us/match?gameId=483115
He's not on their roster for the current Europa League stage: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2018/clubs/club=52341/squad/index.html AIK had a 1-1 draw at home to Braga.

I'm still not really sure how he keeps getting called in by the US despite being provisionally cap-tied to Sweden. Not that I'm complaining about it.
It could be that Sweden is okay with it. It's one way to keep a player in your camp when a bigger team is sniffing around. Technically, the US could be punished for it, but generally no one is worrying about forfeits (or other punishment) for friendlies.
http://www.fotbolldirekt.se/2017/12/20/avslojar-kommer-inte-overens-med-aik-lamnar-direkt/ Has failed to come to agreeable terms for new contract with AIK - will be leaving - bummer!
Looks like Nebiyou may be on his way to FC Koln - if the reports are correct http://www.fotbolltransfers.com/site/news/89203
Sweden's U19s, which is his age group/birth year, advanced out of the first stage of UEFA qualifying for this year's continental championship. If Sweden advances out of the Elite Round in March and he were called in for the Finals in July, he would presumably be ineligible for our U20s since that is UEFA's qualifying competition for the FIFA U20s next year. (I don't know if appearing in the Elite Round might also disqualify him, but it doesn't look like he was part of the first stage.)
Played his 2nd game for Koln U19 ( the first was last weekend where he was subbed on and played 29 minutes) today he started and went 76' in a 0 -5 win at Bielefeld U19
