Club career

Virtanen and his family moved to England when he was 13 years old after impressing Everton during an international youth tournament.[2]

Aberdeen

On 2 November 2017, it was announced that Virtanen had joined Aberdeen until the end of the season after a successful trial with the club. He said upon signing that he hoped joining Aberdeen would help him secure his place in the Finland squad at the following year's Euro Under-19 finals.[2]
