Samuel Lindeman (born 29 December 1997) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder and defender for Veikkausliiga club Vaasan Palloseura (VPS).

Club career

[edit]

Lindeman started football in his hometown Kouvola and played in the lower divisions in the Finnish football league system for Sudet, Peltirumpu and Inkeroisten Purha.[1]

He signed with MYPA for the 2017 season in the fourth-tier Kolmonen. The club won two consecutive promotions and earned a spot to the second-tier Ykkönen for the 2019 season.[2]

Lindeman left MYPA after the 2020 season, after the club were relegated to Kakkonen, and signed with Vaasan Palloseura (VPS) in Ykkönen. At the end of his first season with VPS, the club won the Ykkönen title and were promoted to top-tier Veikkausliiga.[3] In October 2022, Lindeman signed a contract extension with VPS.[4] In the 2023 season, VPS finished 3rd in the Veikkausliiga table and qualified for the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifiers. Lindeman suffered an injury and missed the first half of the 2024 season. He scored his first Veikkausliiga goal on 20 September 2024, an equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against HJK Helsinki.[5] He scored his second league goal in the next round, in a 4–1 away win in a derby against SJK Seinäjoki on 28 September.
