Club career[edit]
Silkeborg IF[edit]
Mattsson joined Silkeborg IF at the age of 13 from ØBG Fodbold in Silkeborg. On 7 February 2019, 17-year old Mattson signed a trainee-contract with Silkeborg, after good performances for the first team in training and in friendly games.[1] Mattsson was supposed to continue on the club's U19 team and occasionally train with the first team. However, Mattsson was called up for three first team games, before he got his official debut for the team on 21 April 2019 against Hvidovre IF in the Danish 1st Division.[2] Mattsson started on the bench, before replacing Ronnie Schwartz in the 89th minute.
Silkeborg won promotion to the Danish Superliga for the 2019–20 season.[3] Mattsson made his debut in the highest football league in Denmark on 8 July 2020, the same day he signed his first 4,5-year professional contract with Silkeborg.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Pelle's older brother, Magnus Mattsson, is also a footballer, playing for F.C. Copenhagen. Their father, Joakim Mattsson, who is from Sweden, is a football manager.[5]
