Gabriel Wallentin (born 3 April 2001) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a central defender for Halmstads BK in Allsvenskan.

Career

Wallentin started his youth career in Trönninge IF, before joining Halmstads BK at a young age. He also made his youth international debut for Sweden U15 against Finland U15. [1]

Wallentin was loaned out to Skövde AIK in 2021, where he was regarded by Expressen as the prime young talent of the squad. [2] After helping Skövde win promotion from the 2021 Ettan, the loan was prolonged for the 2022 season as well. [3] Meanwhile, Halmstad were promoted from the 2022 Superettan.

Wallentin returned to Halmstad and made his Allsvenskan debut on 2 April 2023 against AIK. Halmstad surprisingly won 2–1. [4] He scored his first Allsvenskan goal two weeks later, with Halmstad beating Djurgården 2–0 and remaining unbeaten after starting the 2023 Allsvenskan campaign against two of Sweden's biggest teams. [5]

In his third Allsvenskan match, however, Wallentin received two yellow cards in only four minutes, and also caused a penalty kick with the latter transgression. [6] Wallentin also received another red card against AIK in November 2024, after which he was criticized for dangerous play. [7]

In 2024, Wallentin played more than the previous year, starting 25 of 30 games, [8] and attributing his development to extra stength training sessions. [9]
