Felix Michel Melki – AIK Fotboll

On June 15, in the first game of the Sweden Allsvenskan 2020-2021 season, Felix Michel Melki played as a center back! He helped his team win an important away game (0-1) against Örebero SK as he lasted 75 minutes.

Melki is so versatile that he can play anywhere on the pitch – except as a goalkeeper! He used to play with his former club in Sweden as a central defender. Besides, he is playing with the national team as a defensive midfielder, and even played few games with AIK last season as a striker!
