Suwaibou Kebbeh has made a strong start on loan to GIF Sundsvall in Superettan, scoring in his first three matches. The striker, who is 192 centimeters tall, joined Sundsvall on loan from Hammarby IF to gain more playing time at the senior level. According to reports from Sundsvalls Tidning, his parents initially did not want him to become a professional footballer, believing it was a waste of time.

GIF Sundsvall had been searching for a new striker ahead of the season. Head coach Erol Ates told Sundsvalls Tidning that Kebbeh has qualities the team lacked, such as speed and one-on-one ability, but noted there are still aspects of his game that need development, as he is adapting to a different structure. The loan is part of Hammarby's plan to give him continuous playing time and build on his development.
