Henrik Larsson’s son responds to Rangers transfer rumour with priceless tweet

"Are you having a laugh?"

Darragh Murphy

A forward with tremendous potential, we certainly know who Jordan Larsson won’t be playing for come the close of the transfer window.

Larsson, the son of Celtic legend Henrik, has a number of watchful eyes monitoring his progress through the ranks at Helsingborg, the club at which his father is also manager.

Our Scottish buddies over at TalkingBaws.com published a story on Tuesday in which they plainly acknowledged the ridiculous nature of a rumour linking Jordan Larsson to Rangers, Celtic’s arch-rivals.

The gossip was dismissed right from the horse’s mouth as the 20-year-old striker responded to the transfer talk by literally laughing at the prospect.

He understandably came in for some criticism from Rangers fans who didn’t appreciate the playful dig but he maintained cool, calm and collected… Just like his father was in front of goal.
