Aimar Hazar Sher (born 20 December 2002) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Spezia.

Early life

Sher was born in Iraq, but moved to Sweden at age four together with his family.[2]

He grew up in Stockholm and started to play football as a youngster with local clubs Mälarhöjdens IK and Enskede IK, before joining the academy of Hammarby IF in 2014.[3] Sher was part of the Hammarby side that won the U17's Swedish championship in 2019.[4]

Club career

Hammarby IF

On 21 August 2019, Sher made his competitive debut for Hammarby IF in a 3–1 away win against IFK Luleå in Svenska Cupen.[5] The next month, on 25 September, Sher made his league debut for the club, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 away win against IK Sirius in Allsvenskan. He became Hammarby's youngest Allsvenskan debutant so far at age 16 and nine months, surpassing the former record holder Isac Lidberg.[6] Sher signed his first professional contract with Hammarby on 20 November 2019.[4]

On 5 August 2020, Sher signed a new two-year contract with Hammarby after establishing himself in the first-team squad.[7] He scored his first competitive goal for the club on 1 November the same year, a stoppage-time equaliser in a 1–1 home draw against BK Häcken.[8] In his full debut season, Sher played 21 games, although the side disappointedly finished 8th in the table.[9]

On 30 May 2021, Sher won the 2020–21 Svenska Cupen with Hammarby IF, through a 5–4 win on penalties (0–0 after full-time) against BK Häcken in the final, where he scored his attempt.[10][11]

Spezia

On 19 August 2021, Sher transferred to Spezia in the Serie A, for a reported fee of around €1,5 million, signing a five-year contract.[12][13][14] On 3 October, he made his competitive debut for the club in a 0–4 home loss against Hellas Verona.[15]

International career

Sher scored in his debut for the Swedish U17 national team in a 1–2 friendly loss against Denmark on 18 April 2018.[16]

On 7 September 2021, Sher made his debut for the Swedish U21 national team, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the qualification to the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[17]
