Here is a current Sweden national team player who is delivering in the Premier League ahead of the national team's playoff for the World Cup at the end of March.

Midfielder Yasin Ayari.

In the first half, he gave Brighton the lead away at Fulham. Ayari, who played the whole game, cut inside to the left of the penalty area and fired a shot. Goalkeeper Bernd Leno got a fingertip to the ball, but could not stop Ayari from scoring his fourth goal of the season.

The Swede celebrated by kissing the turf at Craven Cottage.

But the goal wasn't enough to secure any points. Samuel Chukwueze equalized after the break and in added time, Harry Wilson sent in the free kick that gave Fulham all three points.
