Club career

Brøndby

A midfielder, Lindstrøm began his career at Tåstrup B.70 at age 3, before joining the academy at Danish top side Brøndby IF at under-13 level.[1] In August 2018, he signed a three-year contract with the club. He made his first team debut, aged 18, as a substitute in a 4–1 win over Danish third tier side BK Marienlyst in the Danish Cup on 22 November 2018.[3] Eventually, he was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2019.[4]

Lindstrøm made his breakthrough for the first team in the 2019–20 season under new coach Niels Frederiksen. On 11 July, Lindstrøm made his first European appearance for Brøndby, coming on as a substitute in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League qualification round against Inter Turku.[5] On 28 July, he made his first start and scored the first senior goal of his career to contribute to a 3–2 victory in a league match against OB.[6] On 1 August, he came on as a substitute in the last minute of regulation and scored two goals in extra time as Brøndby defeated Lechia Gdańsk 4-1 (5-3 aggregate) in the second round of Europa League qualification.[7] Due to his performances in the first months of the 2019–20 season, he received a lot of attention and was pointed out as the club's jóia da coroa (crown jewel) in a scouting report by Braga, Brøndby's opponent in Europa League qualifiers.[8][9] After the COVID-19 pandemic had suspended the Superliga for some months, Lindstrøm scored the club's first goal in competition after the return, securing a 1–0 win over SønderjyskE on 2 June 2020.[10][11]

International career

Lindstrøm has won 3 caps for Denmark at U19 level.[12]
