After starting his career with the local KPV, Forsell was signed by a near Veikkausliiga side VPS in 2009. After struggling to make it in the match squads at Vaasa, he left after only one season, switching to a fellow Veikkausliiga side, IFK Mariehamn. At Mariehamn, he began appear more regularly and soon attracted the attention of much bigger clubs in and outside of Finland. On 9 August 2012, he was selected as the player of the month, for July.[3]

Forsell made his debut for Bursaspor as a substitute on 23 August in a Europa League qualifying match against FC Twente.

Forsell was selected as the Ekstraklasa Player of the Month for September 2018. Forsell was the first ever player from Miedź Legnica to win the award and the first player to win it in his rookie year.[5]

On 10 August 2019, Forsell scored one and gave two assists in a 4–0 win against FC Lahti on his league debut for HJK.[6]

On 21 February 2022, Forsell returned to Inter Turku for the 2022 season.[7]

After leaving Inter at the end of 2023, Forsell remained a free agent until 30 March 2024 before rejoining Ekstraklasa club Korona Kielce, whom he previously represented in 2020.[8] He made his return to Polish football two days later as a second-half substitute in a 3–1 away loss to Widzew Łódź.[9]
