Sweden's John Guidetti Is No Henrik Larsson and Has Lots to Prove

Swedish centre-forward John Guidetti, 23, has a platform in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship to back up his self-aggrandisement.

Guidetti at times talks as if he is in touching distance of superstardom even though he has been released by Manchester City.

Not Good Enough For Celtic

"It felt like my goals at Celtic were not counted in the same way as in other leagues," Guidetti said, per Mattias Tengblad at Expressen (h/t STV).
