Happy birthday, Emil Holm! The Juventus defender celebrates his 26th birthday this Wednesday, marking his first trip around the sun in bianconero since joining the club this past winter.

Holm's journey to Turin has been one of steady growth. After arriving in Italy back in 2022, the Swedish full-back honed his craft in Serie A with stints at Spezia, Atalanta, and Bologna before making the move to the Bianconeri. His versatility on the pitch—capable of playing on either flank—has made him a valuable asset when fit.

Though his debut season has been disrupted by injury, Holm has still managed to make his mark with six Serie A appearances and one outing in the Italian Cup. Every time he's stepped onto the pitch, he's shown the tenacity and technical ability that caught Juventus's eye.

Off the field, Holm has quickly become a fan favorite in the dressing room, seamlessly integrating into the squad. When healthy, he's also made himself available to Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti, adding international depth to his growing resume.

As he blows out the candles on his first birthday cake in Turin, here's to many more healthy, successful seasons in black and white. Forza Emil!
