Brian Tømming Hämäläinen (born 29 May 1989) is a Danish professional footballer who currently plays for the Danish club Lyngby BK.
Career
Hämäläinen started his professional career at Lyngby where he impressed and reached almost 100 matches in the top two Danish leagues. In May 2009 he went on trial with Lille OSC [1] but later declined an offer to sign with the French side.
In 2011, Hämäläinen was bought by Zulte Waregem of Belgium. He started all matches in his first season at Zulte before transferring to top club Genk at the end of the season. At Genk he appeared in only 31 league matches during his four years there. In 2016 Zulte Waregem re-acquired him. From 2018 until 2020 he played for German side Dynamo Dresden, before returning, in September 2020, on a 2-year contract to Lyngby Boldklub.[2]
In September 2020, Hämäläinen returned to Lyngby BK on a deal until the summer 2022.[3]
