Club career

IF Gnistan

Antman joined IF Gnistan from Tikkurilan Palloseura in the winter 2018. [1] He played 7 games for the club in third-tier Kakkonen and scored one goal on 20 June 2018, in a 1–1 draw against FC Vaajakoski. [2]

FC Nordsjælland

On 27 September 2018 IF Gnistan announced, that they had sold Antman to FC Nordsjælland for an initial fee of €50,000 [3] that could increase further. [1] The deal was completed on the last day of the summer transfer market. Antman was the first player from Gnistan to be sold to a foreign club. Antman had earlier already been on a trial at the club and did actually also play an hour for the reserve team of Nordsjælland in May 2018, where he also scored a goal. [4] The reserve team won the game 4-2 and won the reserve team league with that victory.

Antman's first senior experience was on 16 February 2019, where he sat on the bench for the whole game against Hobro IK in the Danish Superliga. He got his official debut for FC Nordsjælland on 30 March 2019 in the first game of newly appointed manager Flemming Pedersen. Antman started on the bench and came on the pitch replacing Mohammed Kudus with three minutes left, in a 0-0 draw against FC Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga. [5]

In February 2019, first team manager Kasper Hjulmand revealed, that many big clubs was chasing Antman before he chose to join FC Nordsjælland. [6] On 20 August 2019, Antman extended his contract with Nordsjælland until June 2024. [7] Two years later, on 6 September 2022, Antman once again signed a new deal, this time until June 2025. [8]

2023; FC Groningen (loan)

On transfer deadline day, 31 January 2023, Antman joined Eredivisie side FC Groningen until the end of the season with an option to buy (if not relegated). [9] On 5 February 2023, Antman scored in his debut for Groningen, after coming off the bench in the 65th minute of a match against FC Twente, replacing Joey Pelupessy. Antman scored Groningen's only goal, four minutes after coming on, in a match that ended 1–1. [10] [11] After Groningen got relegated to Eerste Divisie in the end of the season, Antman returned to Denmark.

Return to Nordsjælland

After returning to Nordsjælland, Antman was a regular part of the Danish squad and played a number of minutes at the start of the 2023–24 season. Antman was injured in an international match between Finland and Denmark in early September 2023 and was ruled out indefinitely. [12] In mid-February 2024, Nordsjælland announced that Antman was back in training after 5 months out with an injury. [13] He returned to the line-up after the winter break on 18 February 2024, making his first appearance in Superliga since the start of September 2023, as a late substitute in a 3–2 win over Lyngby. [14]

Go Ahead Eagles

On 13 August 2024, Antman joined Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles on a three-year deal with a one-year option, [15] [16] for a reported transfer fee of €1.5 million, [17] making him one of the most expensive signings in his new club's history. On 15 December, he scored his first goal for Go Ahead Eagles in Eredivisie, in a 3–3 away draw against Utrecht, providing also an assist for his team's third goal. [18] After having totalled a goal and eight assists in nine consecutive games, Antman was named in the Eredivisie Team of the Week in January 2025 by the Dutch newspaper AD. [19]

International career

Antman has played matches in Finnish U18, U19 and U21 teams. On 26 September 2022, 21-year old Antman got his debut for the Finnish national team in a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League B game against Montenegro. Antman both scored the 1-0 goal and made the assist to the goal for 2–0. [20]

In the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers, Antman scored three goals in five games, including the winning goal in a 1–0 away victory against Kazakhstan. He missed the four last qualifying games due to an injury suffered in a match against Denmark. His groin was operated by surgeon Lasse Lempainen in Turku, Finland in September 2023. [21] [22]
