Born in Järvenpää, Suhonen started playing football in a youth team of the local club JäPS, before joining the Helsinki-based renowned Käpylän Pallo academy in 2012.
Suhonen joined the youth academy of Hamburger SV in 2017, moving from the Finnish club KäPa. [5] Suhonen was the first player to move abroad from KäPa for a "significant transfer fee". [6]

His major breakthrough has been delayed due to multiple consecutive injuries. In July 2020, while playing with the HSV II reserve team, Suhonen suffered a knee injury in training and was ruled out roughly for six months, eventually missing the whole 2020–21 season. [10] In May 2022, he suffered a broken fibula in training and was ruled out for months. [11] In July 2023, Suhonen suffered a broken fibula again in a HSV training camp in Austria. [12] In October 2023, while still recovering, the same injury occurred again and required a surgery. [13] On 3 February 2024, Suhonen made his first official appearance since June 2023, as a late substitute to Jean-Luc Dompé, in a 2–1 away win against Hertha Berlin. [14]
