Career

AIK

Viktor came through AIK's youth ranks from an early age. In 2008, he was placed in AIK's feeder club FC Väsby United to get senior team experience.

2009

In March 2009 he rejoined AIK but this time to play with the first team. His debut was against fellow Stockholm team IF Brommapojkarna, in which he scored his first goal. He took place in the starting eleven and it took less than two minutes until he scored. He made a total of six appearances for AIK in the league this year, and one appearance in the Swedish Cup. For the rest of 2009 he was once again loaned out to Väsby United, where he made two goals in 12 appearances.

2010

During 2010 he made his big breakthrough in AIK. Even though he was just nineteen years old, he managed to make 22 appearances, in 12 of these he was in the starting-eleven. In these appearances he managed to make four goals and one assist. On 21 July he made his first European-staged game, coming on as a substitute against Jeunesse Esch in the qualifying stage of the UEFA Champions League.

2011

In 2011, AIK made a very good season and finished second in Allsvenskan. The season wasn't equally good for Lundberg, even though he managed to make 24 appearances. During a few weeks he was troubled by an injury, and only managed to score two goals during the season.

2012

During 2012, Lundberg made a much better season then the previous. In Allsvenskan he managed to make five goals and five assist, in 27 appearances. In round two of the Swedish Cup, he made the game-winning goal against Torslanda IK, therefore qualifying AIK for the group stage of the cup. He also had great success in the UEFA Europa League, making a total of 11 appearances, during which he managed to score on two occasions; against polish side Lech Poznań, and Icelandic side FH. He also made three assist during the European campaign.
