The 18-year-old Sweden Under-21 forward joins with the option of the loan being made permanent.

Fulham have completed the record signing of winger Kevin from Shakhtar.
The 22-year-old has signed a five-year deal for a reported £34.6m fee - surpassing the club's current transfer record, which was the initial £27m they paid to sign attacker Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal last summer.
Kevin predominantly plays on the left wing and scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 57 matches for the Ukrainian side.
It had been reported earlier on transfer deadline day that Sporting had matched the offer but Marco Silva has managed to get his man.

He spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Wigan Athletic, registering eight goal contributions in 34 League One appearances.
Godo made played five times under Marco Silva last campaign, making six appearances in total during his Fulham career and registering one assist.

Fulham are working on signing two wingers in Shakhtar's Kevin and AC Milan's Samuel Chukwueze before the transfer deadline.
Kevin, 22, is already the subject of a club record £34m fee being agreed on Sunday and is expected to sign a five-year deal on Monday.
However, talks for Chukwueze are yet to be finalised but continue to progress.
It leaves open the possibility that Fulham won't move for any of their previous wide targets, which included Arsenal's Reiss Nelson, Chelsea's Raheem Sterling and Basel's Philip Otele.
The main outgoing expected is Martial Godo's move to French club Strasbourg, a club with the same ownership as Chelsea, for a fee of about £7m.

We asked for your views on what is still needed by Fulham on transfer deadline day.
Here are some of your comments:
Joe: There's been a lot of negativity about the lack of signings, but managing to hold on to our star players and manager really shouldn't be overlooked.
Donald: Moving Andreas Pereira on will prove to be a highly effective use of the transfer window. Fulham have a strong squad with lots of options off the bench. Let's work on building a strong team spirit and we will have a great season.
Jacqueline: We need a striker who can guarantee 25 goals in season, a forward thinking/passing midfielder and a left winger. Jorgen Strand Larsen, Raheem Sterling and James Ward-Prowse, please.
Adam: We have a settled squad but we need more players who can contribute goals, especially having lost Willian, Pereira, Reiss Nelson and Carlos Vinicius. The bare minimum is one winger and an attacking eight. Ideally, we want two wingers, an eight and a third-choice striker - but at this stage of the window that's ambitious!
William: So far, Fulham have done well with what they have but a couple of extra bodies would help.

It has already been a hectic window - with a number of storylines still to be resolved - but whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.
Chelsea 2-0 Fulham - the fans' verdictpublished at 14:12 BST 31 August

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Chelsea and Fulham.
Here are some of your comments:
Chelsea fans:
Sam: We can win with a bad performance at last. Not a good watch - VAR won the day. Better teams will be the test for us. No disrespect to a decent Fulham side, but teams better than them will walk over us if we play like this. What a contrast from the West Ham game.
Simon: Slow start again. Maresca really needs to sort this out. We should be coming out of the blocks strong and fast, otherwise we just make problems for ourselves. Got very, very lucky with the two decisions.
Gary: Chelsea have had plenty of atrocious and important decisions go against them in recent years. There never seems to be the same amount of outcry. Never a foul, but I agree with the penalty - regardless, it's 2-0...
Denwosu: I have said it before now that Chelsea need some weeks to get into real action. They are really going to be bullied by teams in the first four or five weeks of the current season, but when they eventually find their rhythm it will be difficult to stop them.
Fulham fans:
John: No way of winning with decisions made like that. A perfectly good first goal taken away from a talented young player. We desperately need strengthening in many positions. Bassey greatly overrated - should have risen with the player to stop the header. But, with decisions like the ones in this game, it is a game impossible to win.
Terry: Brilliant first half. Chelsea didn't know how to deal with us and looked a shadow of the team that thrashed West Ham last week. Once again, poor refereeing decisions cost us the game. Once the penalty went in, we never looked like getting back in the game, but at least we kept trying.
Steven: Josh King is going to be a major star. Controlled much of the game. Not bad for a kid.
Paddy: Were there two teams playing? I thought the result was officials 2 football 0.

Fulham thought they had taken a first-half lead against their London rivals Chelsea when 18-year-old Josh King broke clear and sent a low finish past Robert Sanchez - but VAR Michael Salisbury spotted an earlier foul by Rodrigo Muniz on Trevoh Chalobah.
Muniz was judged to have stepped on Chalobah's foot while attempting to shield the ball from the Chelsea defender, with referee Robert Jones viewing the pitchside monitor before declaring to the crowd that Muniz's "careless challenge" had left the officials with no other option.
Many inside and outside Stamford Bridge disagreed, insisting that contact had been minimal and Muniz had never attempted to make a challenge in the first place.
Fulham's sense of injustice was compounded by Joao Pedro's opener in the ninth minute of stoppage time, after eight minutes had been indicated by the fourth official.
Former Fulham and England midfielder Danny Murphy told BBC Sport: "I was really angry, not because it was Fulham but because I love football. Goals like that shouldn't be disallowed by complete accidents.
"They described it as a challenge, but there was no challenge for the ball - it was a bit of skill.
"I don't understand how you can watch football and referee football for that long and not understand certain dynamics. It was just a bizarre interpretation."
Analysis: A case of what if for Silva's sidepublished at 17:40 BST 30 August

There were two sliding doors moments for Fulham.
One was what BBC Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy described as "the worst decision I've seen this season".
It was the baffling decision by the three officials, VAR Salisbury and his assistant Scott Ledger, that led to King's well-placed shot into the goal after an excellent counter-attack ruled out.
Fulham felt in the ascendancy and continued to play well after the decision.
But Joao Pedro's headed goal with the last touch of the first half, and Chelsea's opportunity to regroup at the interval, profoundly changed the game.
From that point, Chelsea regained control but Fulham will wonder how the match would have played out had the officials not denied them.
They could be celebrating a goal in a west London derby from an 18-year-old homegrown star - and potentially three points.
Instead they are without a win in their first three league matches and the mood is one of fury from manager Silva, who opted against criticising the officials in his post-match television interview to avoid any sanctions from the Premier League.

Watch Silva's interview with BBC Match of the Day
Marco Silva spoke to TNT Sports after Fulham's defeat against Chelsea: "For someone that loves football, as a manager, former player, as a fan. I feel sad, just that,
"It is clear it was a special game for everybody. It is the best competition in the world and I saw my team play outstanding football in the first half, we didn't come here to park the bus.
"So performance wise, outstanding first half but all the decisions from the VAR, from the referee, had massive impact on the game. And the second half was not at the level I like.
"How you disallow a goal like that is unbelievable. We have meetings with referee and people in charge,we all want to win. VAR is not here to re-referee the game it is to see clear things. It was not something unbelievable to disallow that goal.
"I would prefer not to say something more because I would be punished. I want to be on the touchline in next game, I don't want to be fined.
"But it has been a difficult start to the season with some decisions."
Josh King spoke to TNT Sports about his disallowed goal: "It's a hard feeling to describe. It was a tough decision. I think it was a perfectly good goal but we just have to pick ourselves up."
"That is the part of being a professional, decisions go against you and you have to bounce back. But it was tough to have a goal disallowed and concede just before half time."
"He [Marco Silva] is a really passionate person and that fires us up. We tired to work hard for each other, it was tough take because we deserved more. [Scoring] was one of the best feelings I have felt. Hopefully I can replicate it and it counts next time."
